Comment Blackberry is the corporate standard (Score 1, Informative) 163

The only reason blackberry is still in existence is because corporations and IT teams don't want to migrate to a new platform. Blackberry phones aren't anymore secure than an Android of iPhone with the proper corporate sync apps installed. Like many products, it became a standard even though a new and better product took it's place.

Submission + - University of Texas Switched to Gmail (utexas.edu)

Daniel_is_Legnd writes: The University of Texas at Austin announced today that it would be switching it's university email services to Gmail.

"Google has been selected as the finalist to provide the new student and alumni email solution at The University of Texas at Austin. A student-led committee began in May 2010 investigating options for improving the existing email service for undergraduate and graduate students on campus-a population of close to 60,000 people. 'We started looking at alternatives for student email because students want more features, a user-friendly interface and a larger inbox size,' said Chelsea Adler, president of the Student Senate and a key member of the project task force. 'It's taken a lot of work to get to a recommendation and the committee has been excellent about considering the needs of students first,' said Scott Parks, president of the Student Body and task force member. 'We're excited because students will now be able to keep their email address after they graduate.'"

With such a large university switching to Google powered email, could this set a precedence for other Universities to follow?
