A lot of you have been waiting for news about our replacement for GroupWise Mobile Server. We have spoken about it in various blog posts prior to this one, however, I can now talk about it in a little more detail.

As you are all already aware, the core protocol is going to be ActiveSync, which means that any device with an ActiveSync client will be able to talk natively to GroupWise. This includes iPhone, Windows Mobile and all of the E and N Series Nokia devices. There are also ActiveSync clients for many of the other mobile OSs out there, though not necessarily shipped on the device.

1.  Bring Web 2.0 tools right into your GroupWise Home View—Create customized dashboards to bring front-and-center the tools and information that help you be most productive for any given project or aspect of your job. RSS feeds, favorite blogs or Web sites, team workspaces or other frequented Web applications - you can bring them all right before you in a nearly unlimited number of interactive panels.

2.  Unleash your calendar—Subscribe to external calendars and overlay your work schedule with important holidays, your favorite sporting events or anything else you need to keep on your radar, and get live updates. You can also publish your own calendar so colleagues outside your organization can busy search your schedule and easily set appointments. A new second time zone feature makes it easy to manage appointments in different regions of the world.
 

3.  Keep better track of your progress and priorities with intuitive task management—Prioritize tasks, visually see the percent complete, add subtasks and keep it all top-of-mind in a task panel in your Home View dashboard.
