So far we have been in business (SME) devices running Windows Mobile 6.0/6.1/6.5 used, lastly HTC HD2.
Now we want to go for something new and have envisaged the HTC Desire HD.
With WM we know by now all details and have all business-specific apps.
When changing to android, what changes / adjustments / limitations come with the new hardware / software?
Are there any apps for Android 2.2 for:
- Exchange sync (inhouse Exchange 2003) for mail, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks?
- VPN (IPSec or OpenVPN)
- Synchronization with external mail accounts (POP, IMAP)
- Blocking of all data connection as abroad because of the high roaming fees
- Remote access to remote systems (RDP)
- RSS Aggregator
- Office software like Pocket-Word/Excel/Powerpoint (data on the device offline, not online in the network)
- Navigation
- Other 'fun programs' such as stopwatch, Translator, Youtube, Games, Facebook, public transport timetables, etc are certainly plenty available.
How about this:
- Device management / security / connection to our LAN-infrastruction (MS Server 2003 / 2008)?
- OS updates?
- App updates?
- System tools for complete backup / restore?
- Is an image reproduction on other devices possible (as in with PC's)? Does it work only on the exact same hardware or what variations/modifications are possible?
Can Android 2.2 be rooted, resp. is the root open?
Can apps now be installed on the memory card?
Are there some Google-'espionage'-apps 'Spionage', which synchronise regularly with Google and cannot be switched off?
Basically, have all devices with Android 2.2, the same options / features or are there device-specific differences?
How can I be sure that an app on my device really work?
What is the best Android app site?
Where is the best Android support site for detailed Help / FAQ / Todo / implementation / comparison to all these questions and Android in general? Android for Dummies .... ?
Thank you for your help.
