Exchange My Mail Offers Full Hosted Exchange Support for New Verizon iPhone

Verizon-iPhone.jpg

Exchange My Mail, Inc, a leader in Hosted Microsoft Exchange, today announced that its hosted Exchange service will be available on the new Verizon iPhone the same day it is made available to customers. Exchange My Mail will use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, to configure the new Verizon iPhone to wirelessly send and receive Exchange email, calendar, contacts and more.

Exchange My Mail supports business class email and collaboration on a wide range of smartphones, including BlackBerry,  iPhone, Motorola Droid, Palm Treo, Google’s Nexus One, Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, and the T-Mobile Dash .

Interest in Apple devices has had tremendous growth in the industry as a whole. We see a tremendous increase in mobile devices that use ActiveSync to wirelessly sync data like the iPhone & iPad.

As more business people come to rely on smartphones, including the iPhone, to access Microsoft Exchange, demand for our mobility services has increased. Companies no longer have to standardize on a single smartphone to minimize operational expenses and complexity. Each user can select the smartphone that works best for them.

“The most popular question we get from existing and potential customers is whether or not their current phone, or the new phone that is about to be launched will be supported by our business-class hosted email,” says Steven Daneshgar, Exchange My Mail. “We want it to be known that the Verizon’s iPhone is fully supported.”

Apple iOS4 & ActiveSync Problems

iOS4 & ActiveSync Problems:

Exchange Mail, Contacts, or Calendars may not sync after update.

We have been reading many articles all over the web about users who have recently upgraded to the latest iOS4 for their iPhone. This new OS is also standard on the iPhone4. Although Exchange My Mail has not suffered from this issue yet, we want to be proactive about it. We are closely monitoring our ActiveSync infrastructure.

It has been reported by Apple, that “immediately after updating to iOS 4, some users may notice that Exchange ActiveSync Mail, Contacts, or Calendars do not sync, or sync very slowly. In addition, some Exchange Server administrators may notice their servers running slowly”.

Microsoft has classified this as a client side issue related to the Apple iOS4 update and is not planning to release a patch or update.

Apple has released a knowledge base article and a configuration patch for impacted phones which can be found at the following URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3398

If you are upgrading your iPhone or have purchased a new iPhone4 device you MUST install the configuration update above. Failure to do so will result in incomplete sync of your items and may cause performance issues. If you run an iOS4 device without the configuration patch above your device may be disabled for policy violation to prevent performance issues.

evernote-iphone

Evernote is now open to the public. I started using this utility about a month ago, and it’s awesome.

For those of you who have not yet heard of Evernote, This neat service allows you to capture, share and find information.

It’s searchable and available from anywhere. Think of it as a notebook that you can send information to, and then search for old notes when they are needed.

Her’s how it works:
Capture information you want to save using either the desktop application ( windows & mac ), the web clipper tool, or send it to an email address.
The information is then sorted, and indexed on their servers, and made accessible to all of your devices. When you need to find something, simply search for it using the built in search feature. Information is kept confidential, unless you chose to make it public.

They even have an application that will run on the iPod Touch as well as any iPhone enabled with the 2.0 firmware. Simply download it from the Apple AppStore
Details Here

As of this writing the service is free if you want to store less than 2GB of data, or you can pay a monthly fee to get more storage.

The downloads page offers easy access to all of the available options:

Turn a Business Card into an iPhone Stand

One thing you’ll soon discover is that there’s no comfortable way to watch videos, as the iPhone doesn’t come with a stand. You’ll either have to hold it… or try to prop it up at a decent viewing angle.

OR – Fish a business card out of your wallet. Instructables shows you how to turn an ordinary business card into a damn good iPhone stand (it works quite nicely with the iPod touch, too).

Once you get the iPhone standing properly, make sure you checkout the new ActiveSync features, and wirelessly sync it with your Hosted Exchange 2007 Mailbox.

Hosted Exchange now available for the iPhone

iPhone Exchange FeatureAlbertson, NY, July 11,2008 -

Exchange My Mail is pleased to announce that we have tested the new firmware update 2.0 and have had great success in getting the iPhone to connect to our Hosted Exchange Servers.

With this update or the new 3G iPhone, users can now get wireless synchronization of email, contacts and calendar with their Exchange Outlook profile. This will work with Exchange 2003 and 2007 by simply following the basic ActiveSync instructions provided free with every mailbox. Additional features include Global Address List lookup and remote wipe capabilities.

ActiveSync has been widely used in recent years due to the popularity of Windows Mobile phones such as the Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, AT&T Tilt and Palm Treo phones to name a few. Users have found the convenience and functionality of the program to be invaluable. iPhone users are now able to join this esteemed group by either purchasing the new 3G iPhone or updating the firmware to 2.0 ( when publicly available ) and can take advantage of full wireless synchronization from their Exchange My Mail web based control panel.

Exchange My Mail to Support Wireless Synchronization with the iPhone 2.0

Update: iPhone 2.0 now supported. Read about it here

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.

Apple Announces iPhone Developer Kit

\"AppleLooks like the iPhone could open up a little bit more starting next year. According to an announcement on Apple\’s website, the company plans to have a Software Developer\’s Kit (SDK) available in February 2008. This kit will also enable developers to create apps for the iPod Touch.

\”It will take until February to release an SDK because we\’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once — provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task. Some claim that viruses and malware are not a problem on mobile phones — this is simply not true. There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the cell network. As our phones become more powerful, these malicious programs will become more dangerous. And since the iPhone is the most advanced phone ever, it will be a highly visible target.\”

Sounds exciting, but will this truly enable what many of our customers are after? Wireless Sync. we sure hope so, the iPhone is a great little device, but lacks the synchronization capabilities we all crave. Lets hope this attempt at giving developers access to the iPhone works, and we can get some useful applications out of it.
