Today, we have some very exciting news to share – Research In Motion® (RIM®) and Microsoft® have entered into an agreement to make a new RIM-hosted BlackBerry®-enterprise service available for Microsoft® Office® 365. The new RIM-hosted service will offer a feature set that is similar to BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express, and will initially be available for Microsoft Exchange Online for Office 365 on a subscription basis starting at $0 per user per month (plus a BlackBerry service plan). The service is expected to be available in closed beta in mid-2011.
