Nokia Adds Microsoft Exchange To Smartphones

Nokia smartphone users can now set up and manage e-mail choices, receive alerts for conflicts in meeting times, and gain access to a global company directory to find colleagues. No additional fees are required. Finland-based Nokia said it is expanding its service by offering Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for all Nokia S60 third-edition devices and enabling nearly 80 million mobile-phone users to connect to e-mail accounts on Exchange servers. Exchange ActiveSync is a synchronization protocol for high-latency and low-bandwidth networks. Based on HTTP and XML, the protocol lets devices such as cellular phones or Microsoft Windows Mobile devices access e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks on a server running Microsoft Exchange. It also allows users to access the information offline. Before Wednesday's announcement, there were 20 enabled devices and now there are 43, including the Nokia 96, which started shipping a few days ago, according to Nokia. Work-Life Balance Nokia is not only enabling 43 devices, but is making it possible for professionals whose offices are connected to Microsoft Exchange to enjoy a work and life balance, said Dinesh Subramaniam, a Nokia spokesperson, in a phone interview from his office in Finland.

"It's not meant to replace the PC, but allows them to manage their e-mail box better. In terms of total product offering that the enterprise can look at, it does not have to invest in additional infrastructure and does not have to buy any more pieces for users." Setup and Features Exchange ActiveSync is compatible with many devices, but Nokia users will have features not available in other licensees' devices, according to the company.

Google's Android Estimated To Gain 4 Percent Marketshare Among Smartphones: Report

With Google's (NSDQ: GOOG) first Android phone just days away from being unveiled, the predictions have started flying. In the final three months of the year, Strategy Analytics is estimating that the Google Android operating system will account for 4 percent of all smartphones sold in the U.S. That means T-Mobile USA will sell about 400,000 of the HTC phones, out of the 10.5 million smartphones forecasted to be sold during the fourth quarter. Chris Ambrosio, Strategy Analytics' executive director said: "Google has the brand power in the USA to make a big impact at launch." He qualified that statement by saying that in order to be competitive against those already in the market, such as Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), Symbian, Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), Palm (NSDQ: PALM), LiMo and BlackBerry, the carrier will have to subsidize the product so that the retail price is below $200. Information leaked out earlier this week said the device will likely be sold for $199. Release.
