In fact, Microsoft Exchange itself forms a critical part of the Direct Push architecture – from the earlier AUTD implementation as well as the current iteration available to a Windows Mobile 5.0 device with MSFP...Now that Microsoft have finally announced that Exchange 2007 is being slated for release at the end of November 2006, it is a good time as any for us to perform a detailed appraisal of the Direct Push-related components in this new version of Microsoft Exchange."</i><br /><br />This is an interesting article -- it doesn't outline the future of Pocket PC, but it <i>does</i> outline the future of Direct Push support on the server end. As to if, and how, these features will be supported on the Pocket PC... well, I can't say a word. Darn NDAs. :| So draw your own conclusions. ;)

Supporting HTML formatted mail would make it one of the first on the market. Detractors might berate its actual usefulness; however, with average PDA screen resolution already at 320×240 and set to increase, the prior limitations caused by insufficient screen real estate is only going to become less of an issue.


So what does he know that we don't? Are we finally going to see some decent VGA converged devices in 2007?

Support for flags in email - this is the one thing I have been waiting for to help me improve my workflow.

Does this mean we finally get a native HTML capable mailbox on our devices?
