"Cingular Wireless Latest News about Cingular has launched a business-focused always-on e-mail service that will compete alongside the popular BlackBerry standard from Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM) Latest News about Research In Motion and could portend additional offerings from carriers eager to lock in corporate users. Cingular, the largest mobile carrier in the U.S., said it would link with Good Technology to provide e-mail and other services that could be accessed over its mobile network with smartphones and other hand-held devices that operate on the Palm and Windows Mobile operating systems."
Some interesting points are made in this news story that make it worth reading even though most of us won't be using this kind of service (just wait till you see how much it costs). The part I found interesting was why the carriers are reluctant to support widespread email usage on their networks. I also like this because I hate Blackberry!
