Giants Unite To Offer Mobile Package
"In a bid to encourage SMEs to invest in mobile computing, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft and Vodafone have teamed up to offer a tailored package through the channel. The package, known as Outlook Anywhere, offers firms remote access to e-mail, the Internet and personal information management. It consists of a Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ Pocket PC and Sony Ericsson T68i mobile, plus Microsoft Mobile Information Server software running on the HP Proliant server range."
It's about time someone did this: a turnkey solution for mobile access. Hopefully this is the start of a bigger trend in corporate handheld use.

Perhaps a preamble...?
Could this alliance be a hint at who is going to first carry the wireless enabled HP 5000 series PDAs? (Vodaphone=Verizon) I do realize that Verizon uses a CDMA network and the market seems to swing to GSM/GPRS devices first, but I thought this might spark some discussion.
Thanks,

I don't think so -- note the article specifically talks about a T68i-enabled bundle.
