Third-Party Apps
If you want an alternative to Corporate Sync,
you may be able to use third-party apps. One
popular app is
TouchDown by NitroDesk. You
can get more information here:
www.nitrodesk.com/dk_touchdownFeatures.aspx
.
TouchDown comes in both a free and paid
version. The free version lets you check email
and get the day’s calendar, while the $19.99
paid version, shown to the right, allows you to
sync your Exchange email, accept and send
task and event requests, use the Global Address
List, etc. TouchDown also supports security
policy enforcement, so it should pass muster
with most IT departments. You can also use it
through OWA if you can’t get it to work with
ActiveSync. There’s a fully functional free trial,
so you can test to make sure everything works
before you purchase it.
TouchDown is a solid app. Not only does it provide most of the features of Outlook in
your pocket, it also includes several widget options to keep your Exchange info handy
whenever you use your phone. However, it doesn’t mesh your email, calendar, and task
information with your other Android calendar contact, or task lists. On one hand, it’s
handy to have business separate from personal life, and on the other hand, it would be
nice to have access to your Global Address List when using your main contact list.
