We're delighted to hear of the settlement and that the matter is resolved. Those of us who rely on instant access to our corporate e-mail are breathing a huge sigh of relief -- our significant others, maybe not.

Microsoft's entry into any technology arena ought to seriously scare competitors in that space. Companies heavily invested in the Microsoft Exchange environment will see this as a viable alternative for wireless email. We would too.

How in God's green Earth would they pull that off? I would think the carriers would not be happy about that at all, letting some but not all off the hook.

The lawyers in my firm are asking me, 'I'm not going to lose service, am I?' Man, people are wiggin' out.

To me, what you're buying with an ASP is not just the software, it's the expertise that comes with it.

We'd pay more, within reason. If we had to pay US$5 more a month per device, on top of the current $50 per month, nobody would scream. And I bet if the monthly fee went up another $30, some users might pay it.

The ASPs of today are much more targeted. They identify a critical business need and they solve it. So if you're a company that has that problem, you can solve it by writing one check and turning something on in two hours.
