Funny thing, In my experiences with handhelds the palm OS interfaced better with Exchange/Outlook than CE hands down every time. Grizz

Mang, You cannot complain about Bill Gates desperation. He spent 5B dollars on ATT to have a few releases like that and have his MS products used by these guys. In some countries it is called bribing. You give your money to your (potential) clients to sell your product. But here it is called vision. Yesterday I had some sales guys from BAM (Bell Atlantic Mobile) in our office selling Palm based data services. I did n't have time to get all the details but I was suprised to see a Palm III.x with a horn (antena) as part of that promo. Bell Atlantic guys are in effect marketing Palm IMHO. -Nat The WK phone only lets users read E-Mail, contacts and calenders. No mention of web-browsing at all. Services like this is not new and being generally rejected by users because there just arn't any good input devices for these phones. It doen't sound like it's a two-way system. It also only supports MS Exchange server. Basically sounds like MS is desperate to put out just any news - maybe able to fool a few wallstreeters. Omni-Sky supports Web-clipping, stock quotes and it's much more general purposes. ATT tries to be fair today and just rehashes an otherwise very old and failed service for Microsoft. Notice the following : "AT&T set the standard for wireless data two years ago by offering PocketNet service on the industry's first Internet phones. " Mang
