[ngw] smartphones

[Mike Brady]

I agree John. I really hope the released version comes with a license  
for SLES 11 64 bit. Otherwise I think Novell is creating another  
"we're giving it to you for free" scenario like they did with GMS:  
free as long as you buy maintenance. I hope we won't be required to  
buy SLES 11 to run the new  mobility server. Dean, any response to this?

Dave might be in the same boat as some of us (his statement, "I cannot purchase any other software but I have groupwise on a school sla.").  I think the additional cost (even though modest) of the SLES 11 requirement is going to hurt adoption of the Mobility Pack.

GMS is being phased out and will not work with a lot of current phones.

This is the software you probably heard about.

It is the replacement for GMS and should work with all new smartphones, with exception of Blackberry.

I was recently in a meeting that talked about new software for syncing groupwise and active sync phones.

My boss is talking about getting new smartphones instead of the blackberrys we have.

I cannot purchase any other software but I have groupwise on a school sla.

I am looking for any suggestions.

Should I just setup a gms system and do it that way.
