Scott Forstall Shows Off iOS 6, Available September 19

Following the introduction of the iPhone 5 at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco this morning, senior VP of iOS Scott Forstall takes the stage to show off additional features coming to iOS 6.

"We are really excited about iOS 6," exclaims iOS chief Scott Forstall on Wednesday. "It has so many new features in it, and I'd like to demo it here on the iPhone 5."

First up is the already-announced turn-by-turn navigation feature of iOS 6, including the impressive 3D modeling and satellite imagery first shown at WWDC 2012 back in June.

In addition to being able to send a tweet or post to Facebook from iOS 6, Forstall shows off the new full-screen mode in Mobile Safari as well as iCloud Tabs and VIPs in the Mail app.

Forstall then turned his attention to Passbook, the latest built-in app for iOS 6, which will hold reward cards, e-tickets and more. Photo Stream sharing also got a quick demo before Forstall demonstrated some new features in Siri.

In addition to sports scores and standings, iOS 6 introduces movies to the virtual assistant. The technology also seems to be faster at responding, with the ability to post spoken updates to Facebook with ease.

Forstall closes up his iOS 6 demo by promising "great enhancements for accessibility" before turning the stage back over to senior VP of marketing Phil Schiller.

Following pricing and availability on the iPhone 5, Schiller then announced a September 19 release date for iOS 6, which will be a free upgrade for users of compatible devices, including the iPhone 3GS or higher, fourth-generation iPod touch and iPad 2 or higher.

New Study Shows Microsoft Continues to be the Market Leader in the Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Market

- Alert) continues to lead the pack in the Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration market with its Microsoft Exchange Server email platform deployed either as an on-premises or a cloud-based solution, according to a just released study by The Radicati Group (News - Alert).

The Radicati Group provides research on messaging and collaboration, security, email archiving, regulatory compliance, wireless technologies, Web services, identity management, instant messaging, unified communications, voice over IP, and more.

In the company’s latest study entitled, "Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook Market Analysis, 2012-2016," The Radicati Group noted that despite the growing popularity of cloud-based computing, on-premise Microsoft Exchange Server deployments still currently account for the majority of Microsoft Exchange Server email hosting mailboxes worldwide.

The Radicati Group in the study provides an in-depth analysis of the penetration of the Microsoft Exchange Server messaging and collaboration platform and its email client Microsoft Outlook, in the enterprise on-premise and cloud-based Messaging and Collaboration market.

According to the study, by the end of 2016 the market share of on-premise Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes is expected to show a significant decrease, mainly due to the continuing trend of outsourcing email to hosted and managed providers.

Microsoft's own Office 365 solution, in particular, is expected to drive most of this growth.

The report provides detailed installed base breakouts and four year growth forecasts for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Outlook 2010, and Microsoft Outlook Web App (OWA).

In another study from the company titled, “Microsoft SharePoint Market Analysis, 2012-2016,”,it highlighted a comprehensive analysis of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 as on-premises as well as cloud-based solutions, as well as Microsoft SharePoint Online offered as part of Microsoft Office 365.

The report provides extensive data regarding installed base, revenues, and four year forecasts broken out by version, region and business size for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and cloud-based Microsoft SharePoint solutions.
