iPhone OS 3.1 Breaks MS Exchange On Older iPhones
12:30AM John Herrman | To an email-syncing office drone with an iPhone 3G, this change looks like a bug. To an IT admin, this change actually looks like a bugfix. But no matter how you see it, Apple screwed up somewhere down the line. More »

2:39PM Nick Broughall | Microsoft’s announcement overnight that they’re planning on bringing Outlook to the next version of Office for Mac may not sound like the most exciting piece of news this week, but it is a huge game changer. Forgetting for a second that Microsoft should have done this years ago, banishing that bastard piece of software Entourage to the seventh level of software hell, the move to bring Outlook to the Mac is going to make Apple’s machines even more appealing to enterprise, while at the same time forcing Apple to really bring changes to the way OS X’s Mail, Address Book and iCal interact.

Google Sync Is Actually Just Licensed Microsoft Exchange Tech
7:56PM John Herrman | Google Sync for the iPhone and Windows Mobile was a long time coming, but the app—which many see as part of a Google bid to supplant Microsoft—actually depends heavily on Redmond’s tech. More »

Full Exchange Syncing Comes to Android via Third Party
11:00AM Wilson Rothman | Speaking of Android, you G1 fans may recall that the phone launched with zero-point-zero Exchange functionality, pissing off more than one business person (at least two or three). The Android masters said that the platform would happily support third-party Exchange integration, and lo, here it comes. This week, NitroDesk rolled out TouchDown, “the world’s first on-the-phone solution for accessing your Exchange Server email, contacts and calendar on Android-powered handsets.” More »

Sony Ericsson’s G705 Slider Handset Officially Official, with Google and YouTube
8:22PM Kit Eaton | Sony’s just come up with the official word on its new G705 slider handset, and it’s not a bad looking gizmo at all. There’s a 2.4 inch TFT with auto-rotation, A-GPS, DLNA, quad-band GSM and AGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and a Java-based OS. The phone’s also got a full HTML browser, Exchange ActiveSync for email, a Google shortcut key for Google Maps and suchlike, and YouTube viewing and direct upload. Tri-band HSDPA gives it “turbo 3G speeds,” according to Sony Ericsson’s global product marketing manager, which is a little misleading to say the least, but there is an interesting G705u version which is SE’s first UMA-enabled phone… though it’s a UK-only edition. The US version is expected early 2009, pricing info still to be decided. [Softpedia] galleryPost('SEg705', 4, ''); More »

iPhone 2.0 Software Review: Forget 3G, It’s Code That Counts
9:54PM Jason Chen | The iPhone 3G may be here, but what we’re really excited about is the iPhone 2.0 software update. Only some people really need faster browsing and slightly better location services, but everyone can use the new features in the OS. Now that we’ve gotten chance to go through all that updated functionality–as well as a good chunk of apps, MobileMe and Exchange–we’ve only got one question left. Is iPhone 2.0 so good that you don’t even need to upgrade to an iPhone 3G? It depends. But if I was forced to choose between an iPhone 3G barren of apps and the slower original with them, I’d go for the apps.
