Messaging and Security Feature Pack

  • Article

6th June, TechEd USA, Steve Ballmer announced the Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0.

In conjunction with Exchange SP2 this brings push e-mail to Windows Mobile 5.0 devices by using a direct link from Exchange server to device with no middle ware server required. There are several interesting new features available for managing remote devices including password enforcement and remote (and local) device wipe as well as message compression coming in the SP2 pack as well.

Exchange SP2 will ship in the second half of 2005 and the feature pack will be made available to operator / OEM as an update for existing Windows Mobile 5.0 devices as well as being incorporated in the default image for newer devices.
