Once connected, Android gets access to the Exchange GAL for address lookups, and can also handle Exchange calendars without requiring third-party application support.Īlthough Google touted Android 2.2's ability for applications to install to SD cards (and run from them), you're unlikely to find any applications that actually have that option yet. Android now auto-detects Exchange settings - for Exchange 2007 and above - and also allows you to use any arbitrary SSL certificate, finally letting Android work with self-certified Exchange installs without the complexity of certificate distribution and installation.
This allows users to work with an individual account and a role or group account (or to use an Exchange account alongside another of the increasing number of mail services that use EAS). Building on Android 2.0's Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) support, Android 2.2 now adds support for a second EAS end-point. With the decline of Windows Mobile, it's not surprising that Google has used the latest Android to add additional enterprise features. Most of the changes are under the skin, with new settings and options for the OS's core applications. If you're using a 2.0 or 2.1 Android device already, you won't see many obvious differences when you upgrade - especially if you're using a device that's skinned with one of the third-party Android user interfaces like HTC's Sense or Motorola's MotoBLUR.
Android 2.2 is, at heart, a point release.
