2009 – HTC Magic – The Wait Is Almost Over

The latest Android mobile phone to be widely available in the UK has arrived on Vodafone’s network, which may mean it’s a good time to see what it has to offer.
In February this year, Vodafone announced a partnership with HTC Corporation that would bring the HTC Magic smartphone to its customers in the UK and across Europe.
Exclusive to Vodafone in Britain, Spain, Germany and France, the phone is available for pre-order now and will be fully available nationwide from May 5; So far, it will be the second general launch device in the UK to be powered by Google’s Android operating system (OS), the first being the T Mobile G1.
However, it’s not just the innovative operating system that HTC Magic has to offer. The device is packed with a number of features that will make it a real competitor to rivals like the BlackBerry Storm and Apple iPhone 3G, as well as its predecessor G1, which was also made by HTC.
The Magic offers 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as GPS navigation and quad-band technology. Also on board the model is a 3.2-megapixel camera and a host of multimedia features, including an audio and video player, all accessible, of course, via the unit’s 3.2-inch QVGA touchscreen. with integrated user interface.
Patrick Chomet, Vodafone Group’s global head of handsets, said the reason the network sought to get this latest Android device from Google into its collection was based on its commitment to bringing the best available technology to its customers.
“After joining the Open Handset Alliance, we have worked closely with HTC to bring this great new phone to market. Our customers want access to a wide range of the most attractive mobile devices to help them make the most of their time – HTC Magic helps meet that need,” he added.
Peter Chou, Chairman and CEO of HTC Corporation, said the partnership with Vodafone was something the company was proud to have embarked on and would go a long way in bringing its mobile phones to users in Europe. The synchronicity of the Magic with the Android operating system was also highlighted.
“HTC Magic embodies the compact style and sophistication HTC is known for, with the powerful and intuitive Internet experience the Android platform was designed for.”
Since then, Vodafone has also announced details of the fees that the HTC Magic will include when it launches in May. The firm revealed on April 20 that it would make the device free with two-year contracts at a price of £35 per month and, for this, buyers could expect unlimited mobile internet, as well as 600 minutes of free calls and text messages. unlimited text. Also, the phone would come with a 2 GB memory card to store music, photos and other data files.
The device’s cool white design is likely to evoke memories of the Apple iPhone 3G or even the T Mobile G1 in some, and with newer additions to the market, such as LG’s latest Arena KM900, as well as the upcoming Nokia N97. , it is clear that the HTC Magic will have a lot of work.
Ahead of the phones’ launch next month, some reviewers got a chance to test out the HTC Magic a bit and offered their thoughts on how it compares to previous handsets, in particular the G1.
In an article for Techradar, Gareth Beavis said that the half hour he spent with the phone recently gave him a chance to put the device through its paces and the first thing he noticed was the device’s slim and lightweight design, which suggests it might have been possible. thanks to HTC’s decision not to equip the phone with a full qwerty keyboard.
Compared to its predecessor, the article said that the touch screen had also undergone some positive changes, stating that it had more in common with the sensitivity one might see in an Apple phone or even the new Palm Pre.
“The interface, which uses the latest version of Android Cupcake, is clearly better,” added Mr. Beavis. “With little tweaks like being able to flag messages in Gmail and then assign them to a label or delete them, making the experience a little more enjoyable.”
A bit of irritation was noted with the phone’s display settings when using the mobile web, but with Google features and the Android Market integrated with the same level of care as on the G1, the reviewer added that it was well equipped. to resist Apple and its online app store.
Another point raised was the omission of the qwerty keyboard which, while making the unit more ‘svelte’, means you have to rely on an on-screen keyboard which isn’t as simple to operate as HTC would like you to believe.
“The keyboard covers a lot of the screen, doesn’t leave you much to type on, and if you’re working on something you need to see while you type, this isn’t the best,” he advised. However, Mr. Beavis concluded that, overall, the HTC Magic is “certainly a step up from the G1 and will probably be the best Android mobile phone for a while.”
When IT Pro’s Maggie Holland got a chance to test the device, its good looks were once again highlighted, as was its “very light and slim” body. The user interface was rated “excellent” and the screen’s touch sensitivity was praised for being set to the correct level of sensitivity.
While rumors abound that manufacturers including Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson have a host of Google Android phones on the way, the HTC Magic is here and now; it might be time to check it out.

How to Find Home Loans for Bad Credit Scores

Many people are often unaware of how many options they have for Florida home loans for those with poor credit. Even if you have a few blemishes here or there, you can still get the proper financing you need to move into the right home for you and your family. These tips are sure to help you get on the right track and find a home loan that really works for you!
The first thing you should do is request a copy of your credit report. It is always recommended that you pay the extra $20 or so and ask for the full report that takes into account all three major reporting agencies. This will give you a true insider’s view of which accounts need to be fixed to improve your credit score.
If you don’t have the time or money to work on your credit score, then you need to start looking for lenders who can help you. There are many options online that many shoppers don’t know about or take advantage of. You may have to pay a higher interest rate because of your opposite score, but the house you move into will be well worth it.
Don’t get involved with an agent or get serious about buying a home unless you know which Florida home loans you’ll qualify for. Getting pre-qualified is always a great idea so you can shop around for what you can afford. This will help you save a lot of time when you start shopping.
There are also government grants that you could consider. The government has established a variety of programs that help people get back on their feet and buy their first home. This money is usually tax-free and will never have to be paid back at any time. Only those in dire financial need will qualify for these homes, so be sure to determine what your overall needs are.
Take your time when shopping for a home loan. You can easily sit down with some reputable bad credit mortgage lenders to see which companies offer the lowest rates and highest amounts borrowed. You want to get as much as you can so you can get the house you’ve always wanted to buy!
Florida home loans are incredibly easy to find, even if you feel like you have terrible credit. Take the time to review your credit score and report and try to make minor repairs, if possible. The sooner you start this process, the sooner you can pack up and move into your new home!

Can’t afford to order? I can’t afford not to!
Are you delaying cleaning due to cost? Well, all those coordinating storage products, drawer dividers, matching hangers, and new shelves can really add up. And let’s not forget a label maker so your labels look as good as the ones in the […]
Are you delaying cleaning due to cost?
Well, all those coordinating storage products, drawer dividers, matching hangers, and new shelves can really add up. And let’s not forget a label maker so your labels look as good as the ones in the magazines.
We’d all love to splurge on stylish coordinated products. But really, this comes second to paying the gas bill, or it should! So start thinking cheap and cheerful.
The good news is that you can tidy up without spending a penny, and better than that, cleaning up the mess can actually SAVE you money!
First, let’s remember the essentials of cleaning. That is, purging your possessions, keeping only what you love, use or need to keep.
The goal is to get things out of your house, not put more things in.
The next step is to organize your storage effectively by looking at where and how often items are used. None of which cost a bean.
Of course, once you’ve sorted through your things, you’ll probably find that you need containers. But before you buy, buy the house!
And by that I mean, take a good look at what you already own and discover its potential.
- The tub that the Christmas chocolates came in may be taking up space now, but use it to store the different bags of rice or flour and it can really save you space.
- Chipped but cute cups can hold pens.
- Plastic margarine jars are useful for small items and come with lids.
- Shoes can be stored in the boxes they came in.
- Tissue boxes can be filled with folded carry bags, simply pull one through the opening.
- Tupperware can hold just about anything.
- My personal favorite is the two liter plastic ice cream tub – a handy size, easy to clean and comes with a lid. I use them to store everything from folded underwear to recycling to snacks. (OK, I eat a lot of ice cream).
If you don’t have enough containers on hand, do your friends a favor and take them off their hands.
Well, then you’ll be one lucky lady (or gentleman) if you can get away without buying anything. So let’s see the best way to do this.
First of all, take your time and resist the sales hype. That sock organizer looks cute, but wouldn’t your socks look just as neat rolled up and lined up in one of those free plastic tubs you already have?
ALWAYS follow the golden rule: measure twice (or even three times) – and buy once. Nothing is more annoying than a plate stacker that’s too tall for your cabinet, or a Lazy Susan that jams your kitchen cabinet a crack open.
So draw plans of your cabinets and shelves with measurements, and keep them handy when you go shopping.
Take a little time and shop around – you won’t have to search far on the web to find the same items at a wide range of prices. And don’t forget to factor in postage: some are free, others, to say the least, are not!
Check out thrift stores, big box DIY stores, a certain Swedish furniture store, and those fun shops with laundry bags stacked outside and mops and buckets in the window. They can all be treasure troves of practical products.
Now what you were waiting for:
Can cleaning really save you money?
For starters, time is money, especially for freelancers. Have you ever calculated how much you spend searching for lost items? Too much, probably. Do yourself a favor and get organized. You should try to find most things in a couple of minutes.
How many bulbs, towels or tubs of paprika do you have? Most people have three or four items that they keep repurchasing. Organize your space properly and don’t leave duplicates to hide.
Overcrowded and cluttered closets make choosing an outfit nearly impossible. You may have fewer clothes after a mess, but you’ll have more real options.
Do you spend money going out because you’re too embarrassed to invite people over, or do you just want to avoid clutter in your own home? Make your home the place you want to be and be proud to show it off, and save a fortune.
Have you ever bought a new pair of pruning shears, even though you can distinctly remember buying a pair last summer? Order your garden shed and save money.
Who hasn’t treated themselves as a reward for a busy and stressful life? Eliminate stress and you won’t feel the same need. Relaxing in your calm and organized home will be a pleasure in itself.
Part of order is storing items properly, and this means things last longer and are less likely to break.
Who knows, it may even end selling your old stuff and MAKING money.
Still think you can’t afford to clear? You should have exercised by now, you really can’t afford not to!
Free audiobooks and how to get them

You may be one of the many people in the world who loves listening to audiobooks. They can be found virtually anywhere: the World Wide Web, bookstores, rental services, and department stores, among other places; and now just about every book imaginable is available on both compact disc and audio cassette. Perhaps, too, you are broke. Perhaps the holiday season has left you with a tarnished ticket, but you can’t shake the desire to finally relax and enjoy listening to his favorite book. Fortunately, that is not an impossible dream, regardless of the circumstances. And it is a dream that can be realized without spending a single penny!
There are many ways to get free audiobooks. An obvious example would be your local library. While this little tip may not hold true for every library, it can be said that many branches are now catching up with the trend. Of course, there are always those whose local libraries are too “old fashioned,” but at the other end of the spectrum, many libraries now offer free audiobook downloads.
However, if your local library seems to be of the old brand, then there are plenty of options for those with internet access. A Los Angeles-based service, Jiggerbug, offers free trials of its audiobook rental service. They provide an extensive catalog of audiobook titles; and if you like the audio in your collection, feel free to burn it to CD for your personal use (which means don’t get caught selling multiple copies of Brokeback Mountain out of the trunk of your car). Copyright laws don’t take kindly to breaking; the consequences of doing so can be dire.
Also worth noting is Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org), a website consisting of free computer-generated audio that is available for download. Although its selection doesn’t include much contemporary reading, it’s a good source for classic literature if you don’t mind listening to a computerized voice.
And finally, there’s always the DIY method: record your own audiobooks! This is especially a great idea for parents of young children. With the free Microsoft Speech SDK and Text Aloud MP3 software, you just have to decide which book you think your child or children will enjoy the most. Also, don’t worry if you don’t have the voice of James Earl Jones, the kids don’t care. It wouldn’t be a bad thing though, would it?
While these suggestions may seem obvious to some, it’s often the obvious things that get overlooked. Regardless of your methods, though, it’s hard to go wrong when you get free stuff!
Is check fraud hurting your bottom line?

In today’s world, businesses face a number of challenges, but few are as daunting as combating check fraud. Technology has made it easier than ever for criminals to produce or alter a check so only a trained eye can spot it. This crime is no longer the exclusive domain of large check fraud rings. The home PC and desktop publishing have brought this technology within the reach of the smallest petty criminal. Others choose to modify checks by using chemicals to remove all or part of the information and modify it to benefit the criminal.
These crimes often begin with the theft of a blank, canceled, or valid check. Occasionally, this is accomplished with the cooperation of an employee, but it can also be accomplished by someone rummaging through company trash, stealing company mail, or stealing blank checks or financial documents stored in an unsecured area. Recent changes to the Uniform Commercial Code have made it clear that businesses share a responsibility to prevent check fraud. For example, if the bank offers check stock with security features, the bank can claim negligence on the part of the business and is only partially responsible for losses due to fraud.
There are many ways a business can prevent check fraud. One of the most popular methods is the use of MICR check printing software that prints checks from secure blank paper. This eliminates the possibility of someone stealing blank checks. Most check printing software incorporates a number of security features, such as restricting user access to certain features unless authorized, dollar amount limits for specific or authorized uses, and requiring an authorized employee to log in and Check all checks before you print them. MICR check printing software and accounts payable automation has become one of the most popular methods of preventing fraud through internal security.
Another more common way to avoid dealing with check fraud is to carefully examine all checks that pass through the hands of a business or individual. Bad checks may not be obvious, but there are ways to tell them apart from a valid check. Bad or fraudulent checks usually lack perforations, and the numbers on your checks may not change at all. The printed font is arguably different and often looks unprofessional. They are questionable when the name and address are printed in different fonts, whereas with a legitimate check, they are usually printed in the same font. If the MICR encoding on the bottom is shiny, it’s probably a fake check. MICR printing is not glossy at all, it is quite dull in appearance.
Businesses can also limit the damage caused by fraudulent checks by setting maximum dollar limits on checking accounts and setting up a separate account for large payments. Companies that request detailed reports from their bank for all large payments increase the likelihood of spotting a dishonest employee. It may not be possible to prevent all check fraud, but by using MIRC check printing software, internal security, and limiting the potential cost of fraud, an organization’s bottom line need not be affected by checks. fraudulent.
How to choose the right hubcaps for your car

Hubcaps are fun to look at. There are so many different shapes and finishes to play with it that it would make your head spin. Now the fun part is based solely on you. When he finds the hubcap set that calls his name, there’s no denying the instant attraction. But is it all about looks and do you really need hubcaps?
The first question is who needs hubcaps? The easy answer is every driver trying to stay within their budget. Some people love the look of flashy wheels, but others want the best of both worlds, the look of wheels without the high price tag. Online auto accessory retailers love people who cater to people who are financially responsible but won’t sacrifice an ounce of their personal style.
A great set of hubcaps can make an unmistakable fashion statement and can make any car stand out from the crowd. Some people go for chrome, while others prefer the sleek, almost terrifying black hubcaps that look like they were born in the darkest part of the ocean. Some designs are simple and understated for the business professional, while others seem to want to transform before your very eyes and are perfect for the bold and bold. Others prefer classic chrome in modern shapes. Other abstract or free form designs seem to have been created with alien technology and sensibilities. In any case, the tastes represented are wide and varied.
In the case of hubcaps, size really does matter, in fact it is extremely important. Once you figure out the style or look you want to give your ride, it’s vital to get the correct size hubcap you’ll need. At this point, most people will want to pull out the tape measure and line it up against the round tire, but this is a mistake. The only way to find out your wheel cover size is to check your tire size. If you check the sidewalls of your tire you will see a long code that ends in the letter “R” and another number. So if you see, for example, a code that ends in R14, it means you need 14″ hubcaps for your car. Code R15 corresponds to 15″, R16 corresponds to 16″ and so on.
Online retailers now offer the widest variety of sizes imaginable so you can get even the elusive 13″ hubcaps for your car. Plus, they come in many finishes and materials. Although many car enthusiasts may prefer chrome, chrome and more chrome all over their cars, others may fall in love with the modern look of the sleek black hubcaps that are growing in popularity.So don’t hold back, you can express yourself with any look you want without breaking the bank.
A good pillow for a good night’s sleep.

If you’re not sleeping well at night and wake up with neck pain, changing your pillow may help. Using a good pillow can help prevent headaches, stiffness, and neck pain. Using the right pillow will help support the curve of your neck and help prevent spinal problems. If you have allergies, you may want to avoid down, silk, cotton, wool, or latex pillows. Try to use a hypoallergenic pillow instead.
Sleeping with good posture will help prevent neck and back pain. This is significant as the average person spends about a third of their life sleeping. There are several different types of pillows out there. It is important to find one with the right support and one that is comfortable for you. You may need to try a few different pillows to find the best one for you.
A cervical pillow can help cradle the head and provide the necessary support to the cervical spine to prevent misalignment of the spinal bones. Common symptoms without support include a stiff neck, headaches, shoulder pain, and numbness or tingling in the hands. When sleeping on your side, it is important to fill the space between your head and the bed to keep your spine straight. If you use a pillow that is too thick or too thin, your spine will not be straight and spinal problems may develop. When sleeping on your back, it is helpful to use a contoured cervical pillow. This helps maintain the normal curve that should exist in your neck.
Neck pillows come in all different shapes and sizes. It is important to choose the one that best suits your size, especially the size of your neck. Adjustable pillows can make this easier. Inflatable pillows have been developed that use air cells to control the amount of air in the pillow. You can adjust the height of the pillow depending on how much air you put in. Water pillows can also do this. They have a chamber built in the middle of the pillow that contains water. You can put different amounts of water to increase or decrease thickness and support.
Memory foam pillows are also a good option for many people. These are constructed of space age material that conforms to the neck. They can help dampen vibrations and are a good option while traveling to minimize vibrations and temperature changes. A combination pillow can also be a good option for those who have difficulty finding a comfortable pillow with good support. These combine memory foam with another filling material to increase softness. A body pillow is often a good option for people with neck and back pain who need full-body support.

The dangers of do-it-yourself estate planning

I used to try home repairs more than now. Experience can be such a tough teacher. On one notable occasion, my do-it-yourself plumbing “repair” caused a flood inside my house. I was so sure, before the fact, that the initial problem (the constant drip, drip, drip from a leaky valve) would require a simple fix. not so If you’ve ever seen Mickey Mouse play the part of the sorcerer’s apprentice, you can imagine my panicked response when water started pouring all over the floor, through the ceiling, etc. “Our first homeowners claim,” my wife commented matter-of-factly, as we surveyed the damage she had unleashed. As embarrassing as the whole situation was for me personally, the hit on my wallet hurt even more. The dollars I was hoping to save by doing the work myself were actually paid back multiple times to satisfy my homeowners policy deductible.
So, I’ve learned to leave a lot of “simple” repairs to the more qualified. Similarly, I have found in my estate planning practice that people who try to do it on their own risk creating major headaches for themselves. Case in point: A few years ago, a new client came to me after her attempt to sell his house was completely thwarted by do-it-yourself estate planning. It all started when he inherited a house from his parents’ estate. He decided it would be easy to add his three youngest children to the title deed. As she explained to me, long after the fact, her intention was to protect the rights of the children on the property in the event of her death. With that in mind, she purchased a fill-in-the-blank quitclaim deed at her local stationery store and recorded the deed. Not long after, when she decided to sell the property, she learned that adding her minor children to the title created big problems: for the title company, which would not insure the transaction because of the underage sellers; for the prospective buyer of it, who wouldn’t proceed without title insurance; for your lender; and for herself. Too late, my client realized that her attempt at estate planning on her own was just as good as my plumbing repair exercise.
I have heard variants of this sad story from other estate planning professionals. It seems that it is not uncommon for well-intentioned people to attempt to prepare their own estate plan without professional advice. I guess access to all that free information via the internet, the proliferation of legal do-it-yourself kits, and the completely understandable desire to save a few bucks wherever possible have led more than a few enterprising consumers to boldly go where they eventually go. they realize they want. they hadn’t. Having stood with wet shoes in the puddles created by my do-it-yourself plumbing, I can certainly sympathize. As I learned, and as my client learned, good professional advice can protect you from costly mistakes.

Jump, Bounce and Swing – The Best and Cheapest Forms of Exercise

It is generally accepted these days that we need to exercise to stay healthy, however, with all the labour-saving equipment we have, exercising is often difficult. Joining a gym can be expensive, and adding in the time to get there, change, and shower can take a big chunk out of your night. Running or jogging is so much cheaper and so easy to put off in bad weather. Hits on hard surfaces, if your running technique is not good, can also cause physical problems.
Of course, if you have arthritis or any other seriously debilitating disease, then this type of exercise is a complete no-no. For you, there is the rocking chair. They cost as little as £50 or $75, so most people should be able to afford one. Although I have not been able to find the original source, I have read that studies have been done at the Medical College of Virginia, which have shown that using a rocking chair establishes a natural rhythm that activates the body’s natural ability to repair and recover. You should start with up to one hour per day for the first week, then increase the time by ten minutes per day per week for several weeks. It has cured colds, flus, diabetes and even some types of cancer. (From an article by Beatrice Dexter in the Examiner (USA; 7/7/92)) This movement has also been shown to help calm distressed dementia patients in a Rochester, USA, nursing home. .
For more active people, the best and easiest forms of exercise are jumping jacks and bouncing. You’ve probably seen videos of boxers jumping for long periods and I admire them, because I can’t go on for more than ten minutes. However, this is the cheapest way to exercise, as jumping rope can cost as little as $5 or $7. I prefer a real rope one, which is more expensive. Amazon carries 233 different spells. I hadn’t realized you could get leather ones!
If jumping is difficult for you, the next cheapest form of exercise is to use a mini trampoline or trampoline. These cost anywhere from £20 or $30 to £100 or $150. People who use a mini trampoline or bouncer are said to be among the fittest. Even NASA endorses this type of exercise. (Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5): 881-887, 1980). Bouncing exercises your arms, legs, abdominal muscles, heart, and lungs. You will find that your body will be better toned and you will be able to continue for longer and longer periods. This is a zero-impact exercise, which means that while you’re getting all the benefits of running, you won’t have to absorb the shock waves that would be damaging your muscles and joints (Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation 10: 401-408, 1990) .
You can easily fit a mini trampoline or trampoline into your normal routine, because every minute you spend jumping equals about three to four minutes of running. This also means that you get to the point of burning fat much faster than you would if you were running. You can use a mini trampoline or bouncer while you watch TV or listen to your music: inside or outside, depending on the weather. Since you can use a mini trampoline or trampoline indoors and it takes up little space, you can use it in all weathers.
If you start bouncing, you will find that your circulation will improve and your heart and lung capacities will increase. Your coordination and balance will be better and your muscles will be well-toned, giving you a slimmer figure even before your weight takes a hit. If you’re exercising to lose weight, you should keep in mind that because muscle is heavier than fat, you’ll likely gain a little or no weight at first. For this reason, it’s a good idea to not only weigh yourself before you start, but also measure your waist, hips, chest, thighs, upper arms, etc. You will soon notice that, in addition to losing weight, you have more energy and vitality and that you have fewer infections. Dr. Morton Walker, in his book Jumping for Health: A Guide to Rebounding Aerobics (Avery 1989) says that there are at least thirty health benefits to rebounding and that it activates your lymphatic system, which is an integral part of your system. toxin removal.
Jumping, skipping, and swinging are by far the best forms of exercise. They all offer tremendous health benefits, yet cost so little that anyone can take at least one of them.
Microsoft CRM Connector: Lotus Notes Domino, CommuniGate Pro, PostFix, Exim

Microsoft Business Solutions is promoting its own CRM – Microsoft CRM. Microsoft CRM is gaining market share in the small, medium and even large business CRM market. For large enterprise customers, email serving is often done on Lotus Domino or Java/Unix platforms. Standard Microsoft CRM messaging works through Microsoft Exchange Server 2003/2000. Considering the fact that a large number of companies are committed to an alternative email server, we decided to develop the Microsoft CRM Lotus/Domino connector (first release: April 2005), which works similarly to the MS CRM Exchange connector. and it will improve compared to the standard connector. in version 2 (June 1, 2005 – expected date)
- How does it work. When you send an email from a CRM object (Lead, Contact, or Account), the connector takes over, adds GUIDs to the message header, and forwards it to Lotus Domino for delivery. The reason for such a primitive solution is simple: Microsoft wants to ensure that all email systems, implemented from the mail recipient side (Lotus, Unix, or Exchange) will maintain GUIDs in the response header (usually by adding the prefix re , like re:.. …GUID) and on the way back to MS CRM, the connector will take all messages with GUIDs in the header and try to match their GUIDs to GUID objects and add these messages to their source. To reiterate in direct words, if you send an email from a specific contact, when the recipient replies, the RE message will be attached to the contact.
- Improvements. If the email is sent from the Lotus client, the Lotus Domino server will look to see if any MS CRM contacts, accounts, or leads have the recipient’s email, and if so, attach the closed activity of the email type to this object. If the Lotus Domino server receives the message without a GUID in the header, the server will analyze if any MS CRM objects have addresses or emails, and if so, attach the closed email activity to the object.
- Technology: MS CRM Lotus Domino connector uses the Java agent on the Lotus side and web services to address MS CRM.
- Price: To be announced, will be based on Lotus or other email server licenses.
Connector has a standard core that works with MS CRM and platform dependent plugins. It will support the following email servers (check with us for availability):
- Exchange (Win32, Win64 (on arrival))
- Lotus Domino (Win32, AIX, Linux, Solaris Sparc)
- CommuniGate Pro (Win32, AIX, Linux, Solaris Sparc and x86)

- Exim (AIX, Linux, Solaris Sparc, and x86)
- Oracle Collaboration Suite (Win32, AIX, Linux, Solaris Sparc)
- GroupWise (Win32, Linux)
