Microsoft Exchange and Palm OS Operating System
When talking about the operating system or OS, how can we forget the most user-friendly operating system, i.e., Palm OS mobile operating system (also known as Garnet OS or Garnet Operating System). The Palm OS mobile operating system is designed for use with touch screen-based graphical user interface. The Palm OS operating system originated on the Palm Pilot PDA back in the 1990s. This operating system has been updated many times since then, and has evolved to work on the company's line of Treo smart phones. Known for sporting lots of user-friendly features, Palm OS also is a big plus for business users as it allows mobile access to your Outlook mails through Microsoft Exchange Server. Consequently, if you are seeking hosted Microsoft Exchange server to accommodate your Palm phone, then check out with Apps4Rent!
Standard Palm OS mobile operating systems applications
The Palm's Address program: Palm OS allows its address program to store contact information, keyed by any of several user-definable categories. In the Palm’s address program, entries are displayed and sorted in last name, first name order (this can be changed only to Company, Last Name order).
Calculator: Palm OS allows the calculator to turn the Palm into a standard 4-function pocket calculator with three shades of purple and blue buttons contrasting with the two red clear buttons. It supports square root and per cent keys and has one memory.
Date Book: Palm OS has a data book which shows a daily or weekly schedule, or a simple monthly view. The daily schedule has one line per hour, between user-selected begin and end times. Clicking on an empty line creates a new appointment.
Expense: Expense application in the Palm OS mobile operating system tracks common business expenses. No totals are calculated on the Palm.
HotSync: HotSync application in the Palm OS mobile integrates with the user's PC. Usually activated by a press of the physical HotSync button on the Palm's cradle (a dock station), this application communicates with various conduits on the desktop PC to install software, backup databases, or merge changes made on the PC or the handheld to both devices. Exchange
Memo Pad: Memo Pad on Palm OS can hold notes of up to 4,000 characters each; the newer Memos app increases field size from 3 to 30 kB. Memos are ordered in two ways: alphabetically and manually (which allows the user to choose the order of the memos), and memos can be grouped in user-configurable categories.
To-Do list: To-do list in a Palm OS creates personal reminders and prioritizes the things the user has to do. Each To-Do List item may also have a priority, categories (to organize and view items in logical groups), attached Note (to add more description and clarification of the task).

The introduction of the iPad, one of many pioneer products from Apple, announces to business and private individuals alike that the future has arrived. The device is a light-weight, slender, mini-computer; an entire Apple operating system thinner than a notebook. While enjoying the crisp quality of the Apple iPad screen and its easy navigation, the iPad business user can still have his important data be synced through Microsoft Exchange Server to other commonly used devices such as a mobile phone, desktop computer or web browser.
Apple iPad Exchange Connectivity
Apple iPad fully supports both iPad-Exchange Server 2003 and iPad-Exchange 2007 synchronization, which allows businesses to access their corporate Microsoft Exchange server for email, contacts and calendar. The enriched email experience provided by Apple also allows email to be seen in landscape view, so the entire email can be seen, or in portrait, for easy email browsing. The Apple iPad email feature can be turned into a touch-screen keyboard for new email creation or replies, contains a spell check / correction, automatically inserts punctuation and offers word suggestions.
With ActiveSync, the Apple iPad Exchange synchronization is enabled, but iPad also supports Google, Yahoo's Zimbra and other servers that use Exchange ActiveSync. In addition, the Contacts app has the ability to use ActiveSync and search a Global Address List provided on an Exchange server.
Apple iPad and Business
Though a computer, the Apple iPad is not a laptop. For example, the viewing screen is also the keyboard and mouse, integrated into the screen through multi-touch capabilities. Thanks to applications built into Apple iPad and available through the Apple App Store, many people use the Apple iPad for relaxation purposes, such as book reading. However, due to the built-in and extension applications, it is also uniquely suited for business purposes.

Server class software aimed at Government and Healthcare Providers is awarded patents for Firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal

San Jose, Calif., November 10, 2009 – AdriaComm, LLC, has been awarded two patents for its online collaborative software, ICUNOW™, that will likely affect existing offerings by videoconferencing and web conferencing rivals. The Patents address the vital aspects of online conferencing that deal with Firewall and NAT traversal. AdriaComm’s own product is designed to offer government and healthcare providers with unparalleled levels of security.

“Online conferencing is estimated by some analysts to grow to $30 Billion by 2012,” says Ned Krtolica, AdriaComm founder and co-developer of ICUNOW. “Given the current level of activity, any forecast is likely to be overtaken by events, but we are seeking partners for both our products and technology. Our niche strategy and patent protection will afford us and our partners a healthy growth path.”

AdriaComm’s ICUNOW is unique in its ability to deliver both web conferencing and videoconferencing functionality, without elaborate set-ups, and is the only product that accommodates H.323 and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) devices during a session.

Unlike the majority of existing offerings, ICUNOW will be available as a server class product, totally under the control of the user. Its security and encryption capabilities make it suitable for government secure communications and the healthcare privacy requirements of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

AdriaComm is currently negotiating with potential partners, and it will formally launch its products in 2010. The company was formed to develop online collaborative software, including versions that have been tested with individual online users. For more information contact AdriaComm at (408) 295-8904, email info@adriacomm.com. The website address is: http://www.adriacomm.com.

There is a lot happening in the world of Hosted Apps.  I guess the use of the word “apps” is now widely acceptable on Main Street.  Apps for Rent is the model to follow.  Apple has the App Store , Research in Motion, the maker of BlackBerry, has App World, and Palm Pre already has a million downloads from its App Catalog.  Not to forget, Google Apps.

We welcome the new excitement about the mobile apps.  Push e-mail is a killer app that built BlackBerry.  Hosting service providers offer BlackBerry Enterprise Server hosting with our hosted Exchange plans.  Other platforms offer easier synchronization with Microsoft Exchange.  The new iPhone OS 3.0 allows separate Exchange sync for calendars and contacts.
According to Apple’s site, the new Snow Leopard OS and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 works better together.

“Now with Snow Leopard, the Mac has out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, something even Windows PCs don't have. There’s no need for time-consuming installations or complicated configurations. You set it up and, like so much else on the Mac, it just works. Instead of using Outlook to access Exchange services such as email, calendar invitations, and Global Address Lists, you’ll use Mail, iCal, and Address Book.”

Apple’s Mac OS Leopard offer greater interaction making Apple a contender in the corporate market.  Of course, Windows Mobile OS that runs many smart phones was designed to sync well with Microsoft Exchange using ActiveSync. While the mobile push email market is still not saturated, we are just getting started in the expanding universe of Apps.

Buyers are often not clear about the relationship between hosted Exchange and BlackBerry when it comes to push e-mail functionality.  Hosted Exchange is the hosted version of the popular Microsoft Exchange product that is extensively used by companies for e-mail management.  BlackBerry client and BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) are products of Research in Motion.  BES is available from service providers in a hosted mode for a monthly price and offers push-mail synchronization with BlackBerry client software on smart phones with the same brand name.
Hosted Exchange allows BlackBerry-like push e-mail and personal information synchronization using ActiveSync.  ActiveSync enables communications on the go to be easier than ever. This automatic synchronization technology also additions and deletions as well as any other changes to reflect immediately in the clients e-mail.  These changes take place in real-time and reflect immediately.
ActiveSync works with Microsoft exchange hosting servers to add the latest updates to email, calendars, contacts and task lists. It also operates with various client email software including Microsoft Outlook and Apple entourage.  Mobile e-mail devices such as iPhone, Nokia, Motorola, Palm, Samsung and LG are all compatible with hosted exchange.  However, when one is using a BlackBerry smart phone, it has to make use of the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) for synchronization with company’s mail servers that may be using Exchange or Notes or some other mail management product.

Mobile phone business users of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry smart phones Are interested in knowing if and how their business e-mail can be synchronized with their handsets.  First of all, it is not necessary to use Hosted Exchange to push business email to BlackBerry handsets.  However, a hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is required to connect the company’s mail server with the BlackBerry handset.
Due to the domination of Microsoft Exchange in business e-mail market, it is quite likely that a business may already be using a Microsoft Exchange server as its mail server, and if not, the business can purchase Hosted Exchange plans easily from hosting service providers.   Fortunately, some hosted exchange server providers also host BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), and both servers together allow for a full range of features to the business users who may be using BlackBerry smart phones, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile devices, Palm, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Apple iPhones.
Today, e-mail is generally the first line of communication between employees and customers, therefore it is a critical communication tool for the successful growth of a business.  Permanent up-time and instant mobile access to e-mail is an absolute must in today’s business user.
The Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) and Hosted Exchange ensure that Microsoft Outlook or other client mail software stays synchronized with BlackBerry client.  All additions and deletions which are made by one mail client are made in real time and they immediately reflect in the others.  This means that your important communications follow you regardless of where you are.  Hosted Exchange and ActiveSync enable a similar capability on Windows Mobile phones and Apple’s iPhone.
