Hotmail now pushing via ActiveSync to iPhone?

Our good buddy George Ponder over at sibling site <a href="https://www.windowscentral.com/hotmail-gets-exchange-activesync-support tell us Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail, officially slated to get ActiveSync support sometime this summer, might just be already up and running:

Liveside.net is reporting some users are having success in syncing their Hotmail accounts through ActiveSync. Through trial and error, the server address has been identified as m.hotmail.com, SSL should be enabled, and you leave the domain blank. Obviously you enter in your username and password accordingly.

It's not official, so it could break or just not work or stop working at any time, but if you've been dying to get Hotmail on your iPhone, especially push Hotmail, here's your chance to taste test.

(And remember, iOS 4 will let you have multiple ActiveSync accounts, so work Exchange, Gmail, and Hotmail can all live and push together in beautiful, blasphemous, harmony).

If you try it out, let us know how it works for you.
