Engadget is reporting that Cingular has posted the Messaging & Security Feature Pack (MSFP) on their site. The MSFP brings Microsoft’s push-mail solution to your Windows Mobile 5 device. Don’t worry if your IT department does not support Windows Mobile, or if you dont’ have access to a Microsoft Exchange server to supply your mobile device with email.
There are several internet Exchange email providers that have low or no cost account options to push email to your newly upgraded device. Personally, I use Mail2Web for sending email to my T-Mobile MDA!

BES – BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Yep we’ve finally got our production implementation online and are in the process of bringing in our first set of consumers (or pilot testers).
Exciting times, if the usefulness of BlackBerry is as well received as VPN was, we’ll see a sharp uptake of users by the end of the year. Neat stuff!
Personally I don’t want one though I wouldn’t mind using Microsoft’s solution to access the same information – here’s to getting that in the door!

jkOnTheRun has posted a very nice review of the Think Outside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard. This is the same keyboard that I’ve been using for about 9 months now. Its been very easy to use, and very reliable.
About 2 years ago I had bought a ‘low price’ infrared keyboard from Belkin ($40), which lasted about 1 year. In the last 3 months about 10 keys mysteriously started to malfunction. This was really strange to me since it was sitting on my desk, not in my computer bag where I could understand if it got the snot beat out of it.
Also, this keyboard’s drivers include support for Think Outside’s own bluetooth Stowaway Travel Mouse, which happens to work wonderfully with the keyboard on my T-Mobile MDA running Windows Mobile 5.
