EMEA BIS 3.0 Upgrade Scheduled for March 14th

The folks in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, & Africa) are getting their BIS 3.0 upgrade this weekend. This is the upgrade that will be bringing 2 way Gmail sync along with quite a few other features we have mentioned before. The normal upgrade cycle is EMEA first and North America the weekend after (sometimes 2 weeks) and that seems to be following with the current rumors. I seriously cannot wait for the 2-way sync for Gmail…
