Right now, Causerie retrieves Stock Quotes, Weather Predictions, Directions, News related to Business, Technology, Games, California Traffic, eBay etc. <br />• Enterprise version supports Lotus IM (Sametime), Microsoft LCS, SIP, Reuters LCS and Jabber (SSL) – this is a BIG plus and really unique! <br />• IMAP support."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/paul-032607-causerieim-menny.jpg" /><br /><br />As usual, Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen never stops half-way in testing new software. How thorough? He even compares smilie input/output. :lol: Causerie offers <a href="http://causerie.mantragroup.com/products/pocketpc/im/pocketpcim.php">two versions</a> of their Windows Mobile IM software; Standard ($19.95) and Professional ($29.99). For the real comparison, however, check out Menneisyys' post and chart linked above.
