Vodacom e-mail...facelift anyone

[Sackboy]

Fair enough but since Vodacom is now part of Vodafone (well 65% of it at least) and Vodafone is a rather large player , why not do a amalgamation of common services (share in the spoils than be the sole dominant player) or is Google trying to pull a Microsoft on us.

What is to stop Google in future from being just as dominant as Vodafone in mobile cellephony and vice versa with their Android system.

Vodafone are bringing out their own system (allegedly).

With Vodacom's relationship with Google since they are using the search appliances and plan to market them from a Vodacom Business perspective , would it not be better if Google were to come to Vodacom and offer a branded email service but with the same look and feel of Google (the back-end and storage side would then simply tie in with Vodacoms Vodamail infrastructure) whilst making the site accessible to handheld devices and / or PC based web-browsers.

Been there, explored the ideas. Did not fly.
