Microsoft announces hosted Exchange services

With mobile email, especially of the “push” variety, gaining traction as the communication medium of choice for hurried businessmen and consumers alike, Microsoft has announced that they too will be offering push email service through its hosted Exchange program.

For as little as $3 a month, Microsoft has announced that it will provide hosted Exchange service with an Exchange mailbox and Sharepoint access. The full-blown hosted Exchange service costs $15 per month and offers full Exchange and Sharepoint support as well as access to the full-suite of collaboration tools.

No word on whether the service will be aimed at both the consumer and enterprise levels or just business-suited execs.  We’re hoping that Microsoft will be offering the hosted Exchange service for anyone willing to pay the monthly fee.
