Server 2003.
“MOTOSYNC-enabled mobile

“This new facet of the relationship between our companies combines
Motorola’s highly successful mass-market mobile devices with the
established leadership of Exchange Server within the corporate e-mail server

Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol and mobile solutions from Motorola provides

eliminating the need for
middleware.”
