Microsoft push-mail delayed significantly

It appears that the push mail from Microsoft (AKU2) and the Microsoft Security and Feature Pack have been delayed, significantly. Number of resources have started citing "2006" as the release time-frame where it was first quarter of 2006 when the MSFP was released to OEM phone makers and then first half of 2006 when Palm 700W was launchd at CES. Now given the Visto lawsuit, Microsoft is (through many channels) saying release date is "in 2006". This is bad news for a lot of people who have looked forward to replacing their Blackberry with a more advanced and affordable solution. Remember that with Microsoft Windows Mobile there is no middle-man – it goes from your Exchange server over the net to the wireless network (whereas Blackberry requires an expensive server addon and also intercepts messages on their way out before relaying them to the wireless network). You can find out about these disappointing news from the audio recording of last nights Palm webcast and read about it at msmobiles.com.
