the durty version

It’s about time for another company to put out some new smart phones that will rival the Apple’s innovation. The great thing with this device and why you might see me with it, Exchange. Microsoft Exchange support is an invaluable addition to any smartphone. I want my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Email (sent email, drafts, sub-folders of the inbox), and what have you. Apple jumped right onto the Microsoft bandwagon and licensed Exchange Activesync from the Vole. Even Apple knows how critical it is to persuade business users they can be an extension of the office’s communication system. Unfortunately all of these small Tom, Dick, and Gregory cell phone makers are all about “open source” this, and “open source” that, as well as proprietary operating systems which lock out the shelf-life of their products. Well it looks like Meizu is not a small Tom, Dick, or Gregory. They got the Windows Mobile 6!!! This means SDK, additional apps!!!
