Team, I hope I am writing into the correct discussion group for this. If not, please excuse my error.
Last year I started using SXDE on my Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 (HCL certified) for business here and overseas. More recently, I upgraded to build 93 of SXCE. It's fantastic. I really find SXCE on my laptop to be a good business productivity platform, with StarOffice be an absolute 'must have'. After reading and watching many interesting messages going around in several of the discussion groups here, one thing was missing that I want to add. Sun had been bundling a PDAsync application with Solaris. However, with the Blackberry device being probably the fastest growing wireless business solution on the market and growing fast in Europe, I would like to suggest giving some serious thought to including a Blackberry sync solution ithat can sync with Evolution ntegrated with the Solaris desktop. Since 1989, I have worked in the Wall Street banking/brokerage firms, which represents one of Sun's largest, if not the largest, customer sites in the world. Solaris is the standard but so is Blackberry. If there is a serious intent for Sun to get a good desktop OS solution out there for the ever growing laptop users community then it must also present itself as a business solution, and the financial firms that live on Solaris would be the best starting place. Solaris on a laptop could deliver a great solution but it lacks support for a required item, Blackberry. There is a Blackberry application out there on sourceforge.net called Barry, which runs on Solaris and syncs Blackberry devices. Perhaps this application can be integrated into the Solaris desktop just as many other GPL applications have been. Trust me on this, it would add a lot of value to Solaris for the desktop user. Hope this interests someone. Regards, Stuart This message was sent by Blackberry wireless email and is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
