  iPhone 2.0; Welcome to Exchange!
Time: 14:34 EST/19:34 GMT | News Source: You Had Me At EHLO | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Adam Glick: If you've not heard; Apple released iPhone 2.0 today which includes a software update to the existing iPhones in the market (yes, we mentioned it when it was announced as well).  We're thrilled to add them to the family of Exchange ActiveSync licensees that enable all sorts of devices to connect to Exchange Server.  For those of you that manage Exchange Servers this means you may see some new devices connecting and we wanted to give you a few notes about what to expect.

Too much iPhone coverage on the net.

The 16GB black model is sold out :(

One area opposite the iPhone 2.0 update not getting a lot of coverage is the "Not so much Exchange for the rest of us" under MobileMe.

Specifically, "push" doesn't push at all and a scheduled sync is used instead - so users who do not actually have an Exchane and or Hosted Exchange services with Outlook Anywhere/ActiveSync, are out of luck for now.

Users not supported by an Exchange and true ActiveSync would have to poll so frequently that both battery life and the user experience were burned - so "Exchange for the rest of Us" is limited to syncing and does not feature direct-push.

When or if/how this will be resolved has not been revealed. With low-cost hosted Exchange for all on the near horizon, it seems that if you want Exchange and direct-push, the way to go is with Exchange itself, and not push-less Gmail, etc... a'course there are a great many other reasons to use Exchange beyond support for mobile devices, but it is a an important one on its own.
