Google Throws Down the Gauntlet, Kills EAS Support

• akira2501 14y ago
  Moving away from proprietary standards, to open ones, is a declaration of war? Wow. Could it be that Google is tired of paying to license a technology that has free alternatives? Especially considering that they will keep the proprietary option for its paying customers; this seems very likely.

  Holy over-the-top rhetoric batman! I think this shines light on a problem with iPhone and Win mobile architectures. I commented on this in another thread, but android's interoperability through intents and custom sync providers means it doesn't matter what API a 3rd party wants to use. As long as they sling a little bit of java, they can make their service a 1st class citizen on android. If iPhone and WinPhone had these capabilities, ditching Exchange ActiveSync wouldn't matter _in the slightest_ because even if google didn't write the adapter, some enterprising app author would!
