Palm pushes Direct Push to Palm OS

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jan 25th 2007 at 4:36PM

Users of Windows Mobile 5 have been enjoying Direct Push for some time via AKU2 (from the manufacturers that have decided to offer it, anyway) -- but getting that always-fascinating corporate email beamed straight on down to your Palm OS Garnet OS device, on the other hand... well, that's novel concept, indeed. Palm has announced that an update for its 680 and 700p handhelds will be made available Monday to add automatic synchronization of email, contacts, and calendar with the Exchange Server of your choice. Cobalt, it ain't, but at this point we'll take what we can get.

Finally, Palm bothered to put push email into their Treos. I believe this is a good move to ensure the surivival of the Palm platform.
