RP: Blackberry and PPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Oz,

With the introduction of WM5, many of the push abilities that Blackberry has
enjoyed will be available in the Pocket PC world.

As for the devices themselves, yes they do have limitations on what can and
can't be sync'd. In my limited (key word) use of Blackberry devices, it did
have a difficult time with appointments and contacts. However, I'm not an
"expert" by any stretch and it could clearly have been cockpit.dll issues
(in other words, me!)

Regards,
