BlackBerry synched with Google apps

Google Apps will now give company-issued BlackBerry devices some push and synch functionality, reports CNET News.

The Google Apps Connector promises to push Gmail messages within 60 seconds, and synch in-box actions like assigning labels and archiving messages. Users will also be able to search contacts from the company's global address list, a huge bonus for mobile workers.

Synchronisation between the Google Calendar and the BlackBerry calendar is one-way in this release, with Google's calendar populating the user's schedule on the phone. Google plans to include bi-directional calendar synching in the future.

Enterprises using Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 now have the option of connecting directly to a global carrier-grade IP network to tap into managed VOIP services reaching 120 countries and delivered by early stage IP communications specialist Jajah, states Computer Business Review.

“As the SIP trunking provider for Microsoft Office Communicator Server, Jajah will provide full telephony capabilities to any Microsoft enterprise customer, anywhere in the world, without the need for significant upgrades to existing infrastructure,” the company said.

Jajah began in March 2006 with a Web-activated calling consumer service and has since partnered with a number of carriers, telcos and technology companies to white label its services, including Deutsche Telekom, eHarmony, Plaxo, Jangl, and IBM Lotus, among others.

WizeHive has unveiled a bookmarklet for capturing content, a calendar application, and other tools that make content consumption and sharing more efficient, says eWeek.

The bookmarklet lets users capture URLs to Web content from their e-mail accounts, Twitter or other Web sites and upload them to WizeHive without leaving their application to open WizeHive.

This boosts the content-sharing appeal of WizeHive because users don't have to be accessing the WizeHive workspaces to add key links for collaboration.
