The T-Mobile G1 running Android is great for those users who are tied in with Google. If you're a Gmail user it's fantastic, but what about those users who use Microsoft's Exchange Server? Now G1 users can use MailShadowG to sync their data.
MailShadowG allows the T-Mobile G1 to synchronize their email, contacts, and calendars with a Microsoft Exchange server.
"Unlike Exchange ActiveSync -- Microsoft's software that allows many other smartphones to synchronize data with Exchange -- MailShadowG does not make a direct connection between the mobile device and the Exchange Server. Instead, Cemaphore's solution provides bi-directional synchronization of email, calendars, and contacts by working through Microsoft Outlook running on a PC.
So, for example, an email arrives on an Exchange Server and is pushed out to Outlook on the user's desktop. It is then synchronized by MailShadowG with the Google Gmail server, which pushes it out to the G1. This process works in reverse, as well."
