While the partnership announced today between the two rivals affects Blackberry users more than it does users of the Pocket PC, there are some other interesting tidbits covered in the article that may be of interest to Pocket PC users.
"Separately, Microsoft said it plans to develop its own corporate instant-messaging and communications program for hand-held devices that use the Redmond company's underlying Windows Mobile software, including Pocket PCs and smart phones. Expanding that capability to Windows Mobile devices broadens the options available to users. Microsoft said independent software developers also will be able to create their own specialized programs to let Windows Mobile devices tap into the Live Communications Server program in different ways."
The other exciting news is that Microsoft has also said it plans to release a preliminary version of its new instant-messaging and communication program for Windows Mobile devices in the second half of this year.
