As if we hadn't all already given up trying to extricate Google from our brains, the company came out Wednesday with sync for Google calendar and your BlackBerry.

It also supports Google Apps for your Domain.

If Google Sync for BlackBerry doesn't kill MS Exchange, I don't know what will. And really, Exchange should be dead already.

You probably need this BlackBerry Calendar Patch to make everything go right.

Are you really that stupid? Come on, do you really think this will replace any major exchange environments? Exchange is so deeply entrenched and there is such a close relationship with Outlook which is installed in so many companies that to think that this is going to replace any exchange/outlook install is just really naive and immature at best.

This is the most shallow article I have seen. I too would love to see the death of Exchange but this by itself is absolutely not going to do it. Infact it does not even come close.

Well, that comment was uncalled for. It may be correct, but it seemed a little immature...

besides... talk like that is one of the reasons Exchange isn't going anywhere soon... they obviously have nothing to worry about as long as people talk like that.
