What’s that sound? Hundreds of thousands of BlackBerrys being smashed on the floor? Well, maybe. Rumors were true, friends! Apple has indeed licensed ActiveSync. El Jobso and company have chosen a bombshell indeed to get the SDK event started. We’re talking full business services support here peoples:
- Push Email
- Push Contacts
- Push Calendar
- Global Address List
- Cisco VPN
- Remote Wipe
- Security Policies
- Device Config
- Certificates and WPA2 / 802.11x
Looks like the iPhone isn’t just for breakfast anymore…

Activesync? Really Activesync? You have got to be kidding me. How so very 1990’s. I thought Apple was a technology company?!

I’ll give it to Apple, they have good marketing, good UI, and good design engineers. Add a fully released SDK (read 3rd party apps), 3g service, and a blackberry client - I may actually buy one. oh and 32g of ram would be nice also.

Where do you get your info. The iphone makes calls just fine when there is no data. I work in an area that does not have any data signal and yet I and several others make and receive phone calls all day on our iphones without data. We can even call our voice mail when visual voice mail is not working due to the lack of data

Uh, yeah, you can place calls without data… but you have to be in a weird spot to have service and no data coverage…
The ONLY call based system that requires data is the Visual Voicemail because it streams it over the data (so you can rewind/ff). If you didn’t have data you’d just bring up the keypad and hold the 1 key to get to your voicemail like normal. Any more “Blackberry Masturbational Bitching” you’d like to throw out there?
(I have a Blackberry 8300 and an iPhone, fyi)

galvatron what are you talking about, calls without data? you mean without a data plan? that one was bad even for you.
And yes full exchange, activesync. Really a good meeting with alot of good announcements about the phone. only thing is that the exchange and apps are coming in June. The sdk beta is out in an hour.

i wonder if BB every approached RIMM to license their stuff instead of ActiveSync
What does RIMM care from an equipment standpoint. They make their $$$$ on licenses anyway…
