There is a difference: OMA is stripped down text only access to you PIM info, designed primarily for WAP phones and PDA browsers, both with little bandwidth. OWA is a full blown web based client that indeed looks and feels amazingly like the Outlook 2003 desktop client.
3) While it sounds like you have a nice solution up and running, other readers can accomplish the same thing with a lot less work and cost by using a hosted Exchange solution ( www.eoutlook.com is just one example). Its what I'm doing now with my Pocket PC, and will be doing with either my MPx100 or 220 (as soon as they are released :worried: )
Again, a good article near and dear to my heart :werenotworthy: > Mobile Activesync via Exchange 2003 |
1) No, definitely not also used as a desktop. It runs on a standalone machine. That would be very unorthodox.
2) I do understand the difference between OMA and OWA. That was a half typo in that I alternatively can use OWA, but OMA is quicker. Both work, just OWA is more GUI
3) True I could pay for hosting, but what would I learn? The project was partially convenience, partially a very fun educational experience. I really enjoyed getting my hands into this new technology, then getting to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
