palmOne hooks up with Microsoft for email on future Treos


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).
