With the race to provide the all inclusive user interface which consumers demand, Good Technology is really breaking out the big guns.  Due out later this month in the form of a functional limited release program, Good Technology will be gracing the iPhone in all (well almost all) of it’s enterprise class messaging glory.  The early features will utilize the push notifications and maintain a completely separate and quite useable UI.

What  really gets this blogger is that Good Technology will officially have the three major platforms which have generated an imense buzz in the technology world, even more than BlackBerry and their dated technology.  WebOS, iPhone, and Android will all be officially supported by the enterprise messaging underdog.  Their current client server model which bests RIM’s BES in a major way featuring the positive acknowledgement message delivery should remain unchanged in their upcoming server release which will be the backbone supporting the new device operating systems.

Here’s to the future!..take that BlackBerry

Something you 24/7 BES and Good Admins are probably wishing you had is the ability to perform basic tasks when remote.  Well, thanks to the advanced browser rendering of the iphone, and the Good Administration Center this is possible.  Your organization would have to publish the url for the GAC over the internet, but it is in fact possible.  Now there was rumors of a handheld client coming to Good Mobile Messaging for BlackBerry devices, but I don’t think that will happen.  Instead, what the future holds for organizations that run a split BES/GMM/EAS environment is a tool to be able to manage your wireless users from a centralized GUI.  Now how about that for simplicity!  Did this functionality come as part of the settlement RIM made with Visto Corporation?  Whatever it was, it’s nice… and the idea of being able to add a user to the BES or GMM server while sitting on a beach really makes me jump for joy!

Another hot tidbit is that GMM is officially in the roadmap for Good Mobile Messaging support.  The enterprise class messaging platform is initially going to use the push notifications currently in use by select iPhone applications.  One amazing feature of this will be the ability to have two… count ‘em 1+1… enterprise based messaging suites.  One will utilize Good and the other will use Exchange ActiveSync.  Who should this be huge news for?  IT admins who need to monitor a test environment as well as their production environment, sniveling assistants who manage their master’s contacts, calendar, and mailbox size, and plain old people who might be running a home/personal exchange server but also need access to their corporate mailbox.

Now for a feature request if I may… How about Good Messaging integrating a client which has the ability to sync only one aspect of the mailbox, ie, calendar only…  This way, the super busy executive won’t have to compromise their mail to have some one wirelessly manage their calendar.
