As a provider of enterprise-class wireless messaging, personal information management and corporate data, the company is making inroads on market leader Research in Motion (RIM) and its BlackBerry product line."<br /><br />With this move on the Pocket PC platform, it's reasonable to assume that we may see this slide over to the Smartphone platform - if they've got a Windows Mobile compatible solution worked out, it's mostly a matter of re-tooling the UI, and getting Smartphone OEMs to include the necessary hardware - or would the only requirement be GPRS? I know that RIM is moving away from their pager-network approach and into the realm of GPRS, but what's the Good hardware solution look like? I know very little about them. Anyone in the know?
