Just read a little blurb on another site about the new 3G iPhone. They also have a poll going on whether users will buy the new device… I wonder if adding ActiveSync will help them gain more Enterprise users.

Exchange My Mail, a leading hosting provider of Microsoft Exchange Server, has announced that it
will fully support the upcoming iPhone 2.0 wireless synchronization with its Hosted Microsoft
Exchange Service.
Albertson, NY, March 11, 2008 — On March 6th, Apple announced that it will begin to offer enterprise support for the iPhone in the upcoming 2.0 release in June. With Apple’s release of the SDK, developers now have the opportunity to create new programs for the corporate environment. Apple has released a list of 10 companies that supported the 2.0 beta, including Cisco Systems, Nike, Disney, and Microsoft, just to name a few.
“Enterprise support which includes Microsoft ActiveSync would allow iPhone users to wirelessly sync
their device to our Hosted Exchange servers and provide secure, over-the-air push email, contacts and calendars as well as remote wipe. These are features all of our customers want on their iPhones, and ActiveSync provides that,” says Steven Daneshgar, COO- Exchange My Mail, Inc.
“We have had many requests for full wireless data synchronization, between the Apple iPhone and Microsoft Exchange servers ever since the iPhone was launched. Customers just weren’t happy with the basic IMAP features, so this is great news for all of our iPhone customers,” adds David Grantz, CIO.
Exchange My Mail has always fully supported ActiveSync, and is excited to add the Apple iPhone to that list. ActiveSync is included free on all Exchange My Mail plans.

Exchange My Mail offers ActiveSync FREE
If you own a windows mobile phone or any type of “smartphone” you can get full wireless synchronization with your email, contacts and calendar.
There are 2 ways to accomplish this task:
1 - Use ActiveSync
2 - Use the Good Mobile Messaging service
Both of there services are offered by Exchange My Mail
ActiveSync is a software application designed by Microsoft that allows you to transmit and synchronize information between your local Outlook client and your mobile device.
As long as you have internet access on your handheld, the device can connect to our Exchange Server and sync all information in your Outlook profile including email, contacts and calendar appointments. You can even add or change a contact or calendar entry and it will wirelessly sync back to your Outlook profile.
This feature is now included FREE with your service to Exchange My Mail
Good Mobile Messaging uses an intermediary server that transmits the data from your handheld device to your desktop. The advantage of this would be best described in the following scenario;
If you transmit 3 pages of data from your handheld to an email address and you lose data coverage after only one page has transmitted, the Good Mobile server knows there should be 3 pages sent and will continue to ask the handheld for all of the data. Without this service only the partial data that was transmitted before the loss of coverage would be delivered.
This is best used for any mission critical email.
Exchange My Mail offers both of these services to all users. ActiveSync is included FREE with all services and Good Mobile Messaging is $19.99 per month with a one time set up fee of $34.99. For more information on all the services Exchange My Mail offers, you can click here
