Unlikely as the exchange connector is not free (or open). The only real client that's open source that will integrate with exchange is evolution and even then it is buggy and not exactly a surefire thing.

So that would be a deal breaker for a LOT of corporate professional people. But it will help as did the iphone in that MSFT will have to make sure they spend way more moeny in the PPC arena or take a chance on losing users - altho in the end, Corp IT decides in many cases.

Yeah, it is frustrating as Exchange integration is a *must* for me for work (and IMAP is not an option - no way I am opening IMAP up on the servers for a phone).

Well is that true? There are many applications for Palm that have Exchange support, and I don't think they are paying in order to get access, but I'm not sure about that. Snappermail and Chattermail come to mind.
