iphone / ipad and exchange

So my new job uses ActiveSync to sync Outlook with whatever personal device you have.

I just bought an iPad, and have a Google exchange account setup for my personal contacts and calendar (I'm guessing this is Google Sync?). It's great - when I type emails in the Mail app, it auto pulls all my gmail contacts just like I was emailing from the Gmail web page. For Gmail on the ipad, I just setup a separate, preconfigured IMAP account.

I'd also like to sync all my work stuff for their calendar and email, because updating everything on both sides is a pain. Is there no way to use both accounts on the ipad if they use exchange? It seems like the iphone / ipad interface only allows for one exchange account.

If anyone knows of anything different, please let me know.

I'm sure I saw this and I'll post the links, iOS4 will support multiple exchange accounts.

Yep here it is : http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-20006959-233.html

Scroll down to where it says "Enterprise Integration".

YAY! Unfortunately the iPad won't get the iOS4 update at the same time as the iPhone.

If your company uses webmail for exchange also, it's very easy to set up exchange email for iPad.
