That would solve the Outlook side of switching to Google Apps. Still need the full Active Sync support for the iPhone or Windows Mobile. - Andrew

was pretty sure Outlook and Gmail already supported IMAP ;-) - Karim

The big difference with Cemaphore seems to be that it also syncs calendar and contact data. It does this by using MAPI which allows them to do true 2-way sync. I think this is a potential step forward in breaking the outlook/exchange strangle hold on calendaring and contacts and hope they do well. - Martin Leonard

well looking at the pricing on Cemaphore and comparing it to the pricing on Exchange doesn't bode well for broken strangleholds. likewise losing push email on the iPhone & other devices doesn't seem like a winning proposition... - Karim
