Popular web-based email service Hotmail updates today with support for Exchange syncing, meaning Hotmail can now push email, calendar events, and contacts between the web and your phone—if your phone supports Exchange (iOS, Windows, Nokia, and Palm devices do).
The new Hotmail is packed with impressive features, even when compared to Gmail. The addition of push syncing is extremely important if Hotmail wants to keep up with the likes of Gmail, and I can't imagine a Hotmail user that won't be very pleased with the new features. If you've got a Hotmail account and want to set it up with your device, Microsoft's got instructions here.
