Microsoft trying to outcompete RIM?
"Microsoft aims to kill BlackBerry," said one source familiar with the plans. "Every corporate type has a BlackBerry, and they all have Outlook. What is the cost going to be to RIM server when Exchange Service Pack and Magneto come out and they're not priced? Microsoft is giving it away for free."
"Microsoft recently licensed its ActiveSync technology to competitors to make Exchange the push server engine of choice."
"HP, Motorola, Samsung and others now are developing new smartphones with keyboards such as BlackBerry's Qwerty keyboard and larger displays."
A slight snag: There are hardly any phones running Windows Mobile, but phones running Series 60, proprietary systems etc might also support ActiveSync some day.
