Open-Xchange will provide its open-source technology to 1&1 Internet, an international Web-hosting company that plans to offer a hosted e-mail service for €4.99 ($6.00) per user per month.
I setup an Open-Xchange server in my basement a while back. Royal PITA to get up and running, but, once it was working, it was actually a much better interface than OWA. I believe there was a SyncML engine in the works, but I'm not sure how that would work with a Smartphone, anyway. I also don't know if it's going to be available in the States. If it does, I would expect the pricing to come down a bit, since Exchange is only $6.99/month.
