Hands down, the best technology I’ve implemented in 2006 is the Treo 700p talking to an Exchange server.
OK so I’ve been a Palm user since the early days of the Palm Pilot. And I thought I had died and gone to heaven when the Treo 600 came out. But the 700 just goes one step beyond.
I would love the phone and all the Palm applications just by itself. But I turn my phone on and my email is THERE. The Exchange server pushes it out to my phone without my doing anything. All I had to do was buy a 3rd party email client: 60 bucks later I’m done.
I turned off all notifications so it doesn’t interrupt and continually notify me that email is arriving.
I use a hosted Exchange account so I don’t have to deal with any of the techie stuff involved in having your own Exchange server.
Don’t know how I lived without this!
