Craig, sorry, I missed those PR's. Could you summarize them? I just wonder given the BB's foothold in the corporate world how hard it is for another device to supplant much of them with a whole new application/server? IT departments probably will not be excited about switching to an entirely new platform, let alone supporting a new device. That's why I thought putting BB software on a Treo would give them the least cause to balk about some people opting for Treos or a gradual shift over to a new device. Whether or not Good is "better" than BB in some ways is not the point unless there is such a huge difference in functionality that this would cancel out the extra headaches for IT departments in implementing a new system. No?

Somehow I don't think so.

Well, Treo + Good = better than Blackberry/RIM, so this shouldn't be a big obstacle to Treo adoption (hence all the recent PRs regarding massive Treo implementations). -- http://www.GearBits.com -- Tech.
