Whether they just made a pact with the devil or simply yielded to pragmatism depends on your point of view, but
palmOne just cut a deal to make the email software in the
Treo 650 and other future Treos fully compatible with
Microsoft's Exchange email servers (which are especially popular with big corporations). We can see why they did
it—excellent integration with Microsoft Exchange is one of the BlackBerry's prime selling points—but we won't even get
into the whole thing about how this is only dredging up yet more speculation about how palmOne might someday abandon
the Palm OS and switch to Microsoft's Windows Mobile (remember that
palmOne themselves haven't explicity ruled this
out).

Now we can add open ended hacking, free for all back doors, signal pirating.. oh and don't forget the unlimited virus downloads.
Beyond Contacts already syncs my office Outlook/Exchange info extremely well. Whats the point?
