Is google listening?

I’ve had an iphone for almost two years. The device itself is okay and does everything I need but not everything I want. No multi-tasking, copy and paste only between apple applications and horrendous battery life are amazingly frustrating. I would love an Android based device, even though I don’t trust Google at all. So, why haven’t I run out an bought myself a Nexus One or a Motorola Droid? Because the Android platform doesn’t support active sync and that’s a requirement for pretty much anyone using a mobile device in a corporate setting. The day that Android supports the active sync protocol, I will be buying myself an Android based phone. I’ve been watching this thread on google code about the issue. Google recently announced that their mobile apps would support many active sync features (though they didn’t specifically mention active sync). The support for these features isn’t available in the mobile apps on android yet, but this is promising on that front as well as in the Android platform. Hopefully Google is listening and this support will be announced before summer.
