Heh... Verizon has FIOS service in my city. In March of 2009 I asked when I could get service in my area (a fairly dense tourism oriented section of the city). I was told September. I guess I should have asked which year.

Verizon only has FIOS service in carefully selected parts of carefully selected cities. It doesn't do me any good though.

'If Google is to present a threat to the Apple App Store ecosystem, it needs to address discovery and purchasing as a matter of urgency, or abandon control and hand over the entire management of the Android Market to carriers, OEMs and trusted publishers.'

So, Google need to step up and do something right or do something a thousand times worse?
Just my opinion but that seems like a pretty extreme pair of options!

I'd say the school very clumsily and stupidly tried to do something good. Stop the practice, tell them they are idiots and that they broke the law. Then, asses the situation and analyze the actual damages. I'd wager this will NOT be organized crime but a hand full of overzealous teachers and other staff.

Tell them they broke the law???????? Uh, and then what???? Aren't you missing the important part here? How about criminal prosecution for the laws they broke? I really don't think that the fact that they are school officials gives them some kind of special immunity. They should be prosecuted exactly the same as if you or I had broken the same laws. I just read an article that said the FBI is now investigating but I really don't understand why local and state law enforcement wasn't already investigating.

ActiveSync is basically for Exchange. So, yes you can get your corporate Exchange email and your gmail via imap or pop3 at the same time.
But you can't get your corporate Exchange email, contacts and calandar AND gmail via Exchange (ActiveSync), gmail contacts and Google calendar (both only syncable over the air via ActiveSync). It is very limiting.

What I want is to access my corporate email, contacts and calendar (Exchange ActiveSync) and also my Gmail, Gmail contacts and Google Calendar (using ActiveSync). Just can't be done with the current iPhone software.
