Google Adds Apps Link to BlackBerry
- — 11 May, 2009 14:30
Looking to increase corporate use of its hosted Google Apps offerings, Google Inc. last week unveiled a tool that's designed to make it easier for users of BlackBerry mobile devices to use its Gmail, Contacts and Calendar software.
Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server is slated to be generally available in July, the company said.
The new software is installed on Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry Enterprise Server, "connecting it to the Google Apps cloud," said Raju Gulabani, a product management director at Google, in a blog post.
Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group Inc., said the move should help Google in its quest to build up its business presence.
"We know [Google] wants to get into the corporate market more and become sort of an enterprise replacement for Microsoft and Exchange," Olds said. "This gives them a more compelling story toward this end."

Sorry. For me, it's that I contributed, ... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's to me the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life.
I am from Hungary and too bad know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "We had waitresses standing within feet of our table partly because linda was being followed because of the comps and everytime we needed something or even looked like we did, they were there with a refill or to get whatever we needed.Please note ideamarketers is a free forum where."
Thank you very much ;). Jody.
