RIM to add address book and calendar sync to BlackBerry Internet Service

by Volker Weber

This is one of the most interesting pieces in the release notes for the BlackBerry Device Software 4.3:

Synchronize the address book and calendar features of integrated email accounts (for example, Yahoo!® Mail address book and calendar) with the Address Book and Calendar on the BlackBerry smartphone.

This feature requires BlackBerry® Internet Service 2.4.

This is a major breakthrough for the BlackBerry. Finally, you would no longer need Exchange or Domino to feed PIM data to the device. I would be surprised if this does not work with Google Mail and Calendar.

The information about the address book and calendar sync has been removed from the support article you have linked.
