p2pnet.net News:- "The rush to chip away at BlackBerry’s dominance in mobile business e-mail intensifies further this week with Sprint Corp. introducing rival options from Good Technology Inc. and Seven Networks Inc," says the Associated Press.

Good last month signed on Cingular Wireless to sell its service and now says it’s, "adapting its software to work with corporate e-mail systems based on IBM Lotus Notes and Domino in addition to Microsoft Exchange," says the story, which goes on:

"Good and Seven also are adding a new wrinkle to the market, making their services compatible with certain cell phones for those users who would rather not carry slightly larger handheld computers. The thinking is that rather than thumb-typing e-mail responses on a full-blown keyboard, many people may simply want the ability to read and triage incoming messages."

Of the threats to Blackberry, the most powerful is a software upgrade by Microsoft to provide better real-time e-mail access between corporate servers running on Microsoft Exchange and mobile devices based on the Pocket PC and Smartphone versions of Windows Mobile, says AP.
