Team Edition lets anyone collaborate on Google Apps with anyone else in their e-mail domain, solving some of the security concerns corporations have with hosted apps.

YAWN! Yet another press release from Google

Yet another release from serial press release pest Google.

Wake me up when Google has captured more than 5% market share away from MS Office!

C'mon CNET start writing news and stop showing your bias to the PR machine at Google....style over substance again.

How can you seriously keep a straight face on putting Google Apps in the same sentence as Microsoft software?

Smokin to much at CNET!!!

You will smoke your comment

"There is a world wide demand for 6 computers"

"Cloud computing will never take off"

You will smoke your own comment one day, just like the guy at IBM who said the first comment.

Google Apps -- Aussie comment

Apparently those down under cannot understand the value of these apps in the workplace. G'day mate.

Cheers cobber!

We see enough value in Office 2007 and other Microsoft apps thanks and unlike what seem the majority of US users on this site we remain objective about ALL software, services or other things and evaluate options and solutions based upon TCO, usability and product roadmaps!

shared contacts

That shared contacts feature is a little bit misleading, it makes user think you can share a global address list when in fact it only allows you to search for domain users.

For small business a global address book would be a killer feature, and if properly implemented big corps would have a lot to gain from it too. Something like "browse this user's shared contacts".

oh well.

Nothing is ever FREE

If the app is worth anything Google cannot forever keep it free, it costs money to maintain and host it. Google will either have to charge money, at some point or start displaying ads based on content. I am not sure if CocaCola would like its employees to see Pepsi ads as they work.
