I expect we'll see these on PalmOne devices by years end
Now that these lawsuits are settled (as of March 24 2004), the impedement that Brawley (PalmOne's CEO) discusses is gone.
Why wait for this, start using MailWave today
Yay!
Any talk about when devices will be made available? Or is it going to be a sofwtare solution for existing PalmOS smart phones?

In practice, this means that on a subway ride, I can read emails waiting for me on my device, and reply to emails, all in the absence of signal. The second I get out of the subway station, any new email is pushed in, and any composed messages are sent. In the presence of a signal, the second an email arrives, the device notifies me.
It is a very unique experience, and very addictive because emails are sent/received instantenously, all the time, much like instant messaging. If you get a lot of email, idle time (like waiting for someone, or taking a subway ride or a cab ride), is productive time. It is a masterpiece of instant communication.
I carry a Blackberry and a Tungsten T3 with me always. IMHO, the Blackberry makes a terrible PDA, but is indisposable because of how well it handles emails. Done correctly, converging RIM's push email technology and Palm's PDA technology into one device will be a near perfect device.

So, if Palm supports something like this, what would be the Palm equivalent of the always-connected attribute of the Blackberry? Would it require hardware such as a Treo that has an always-connected wireless technology? The other wireless technologies (Bluetooth, WiFi) are typically much more intermittent than GPRS.
