well it's great you've been working on a stratergy in advance, I look forward to hearing more. It is worrying how quickly and without any warning things can change.

There's still the local sync solutions for Palm and Windows Mobile. You still need a desktop you can't get away from that.

Its basically a email client based software that is running on most of the newest phones, being iPhone, Blackberry and Nokia E71

Nokia's announcement was last September.

Now it's May.

Is anything happening, or is GroupWise just being left to die a slow and painful death?

We're getting a lot of pressure to migrate away from Novell and GW, to MS, Exchange and Outlook. Don't spurn the "one more nail in the coffin" comment - it may be prophetic.

I had a long thread in the Novell Community Chat forum about that. The answer is still... yes, eventually. I'd be amazed if it was this year, and quite frankly a 1.0 version of this new product in production is a little scary.

I haven't seen any details or timeframes of this new solution.

Hopefully Novell can assign enough resources for this.. this is important.
And please, provide some timeframe for this.

Well for us it's a matter of cost, time, and effort, GMS works but security must be maintained and updates to accommodate new technology must happen. I have users who are buying new phones and I have to tell them they can't get their email on that device, NOT good when its someone like the President of the college.

Exchange provides a lot of functionality for free for us due to our campus agreements and I don't have to have it sitting on top of a system that is no longer getting security and technology updates (Netware) or requires a new mindset from our Users and Officers (linux). I am currently migrating GW 7 from Netware to Windows 2k3 but due to multiple issues with mobile users I feel this is almost a waste of time as we will probably dump GW and go to Exchange and its better support of new mobile technologies.

Oh and to the guy panning Ford and Sync I would suggest you look at them again, lots of people are appreciating that they didn't take bail out money and this has turned into more cars sold for them. I know at least 60 people here alone that have a Ford with sync tech in it, again another compelling reason to switch.

Can Novell give any sort of Progress Report?

The intellisync suite is a great product line. i dont know why they would discontinue such a good line. i hope that the replacement is just as good as i use this all the time.

Are there some positive directions yet on this?

Maybe, some fresh reagreement with Nokia, in the worst acse, if that makes sense?

I am so fascinated by technology mainly because of company like Novell, the world of technology is vast at one point everything we do will be relied upon it.

It should be noted that the Nokia press release did menton that Nokia were not planning on selling the business.

I'm glad nokia decided not to sell out, it would have been a real shame...

I've always found I had a lot of issues with intellisync and I'm really not sure why I can't get it to work 100% of the time.

I'm definitely glad that Nokia didn't sell out. I will always support Nokia. On a side note, does anyone remember the scene from the movie Transformers where the Nokia phone turns into the mini robot? funny stuff.
