Mobile 6

I don't really talk a lot about Mobile and the way it integrates with Exchange 2007. I simply take it for granted that I can triage my email on my device. But every now and again when out at events etc I realise lots of people are not doing this - so when I got my hands on a new HTC Touch via Steve (boy I wish I had his contacts).  I thought I better blog about it 

Firstly the touch is a really cool piece of kit - I cannot really give a full appraisal as I only had it for 30 minutes - but I liked it a lot and found the touchflo very good.

But more importantly it reminded me of why Mobile 6 is great for email - here are some of the enhancements over 5

Search - Mobile 6 now lets you actually search for mail like you do in Outlook 2007/Exchange 2007. Brilliant -  the amount of times I have only had my mobile and needed to find a phone number tucked away in an email on the server. Mobile 6 solves this for me

HTML mail - rendered correctly no more emails on your devices with a load of hyperlinks - now the email is beautifully rendered

Calendars - much better - the ablility to see attendees

Smart filters - really cool

Really cool stuff if you just want to check it out you can get emulators here
