Exchange 2010 Mobility Videos on TechNet Edge

A whole bunch of demo videos came out on TechNet Edge yesterday

Exchange 2010 Mobility Demo: Nickname Cache
Adam Glick, Senior Technical Product Manager, demos Nickname Cache in Exchange 2010. By storing the e-mail addresses of recent recipients, the Nickname Cache helps users address e-mail more quickly by providing a suggested name list as a new address is typed. This automatically populated list narrows itself as the user types more letters of the recipient’s name and is a combined cache of recent recipients of e-mail sent from Outlook Web Access and Outlook Mobile.

Exchange 2010 Mobility Demo: Move Conversation
Adam Glick, Senior Technical Product Manager, demos the move conversation function within Conversation View.  By treating multiple messages as a single conversation it can be managed, ignored, moved, and deleted as a whole vs. having to address each e-mail individually. New messages to old conversations will automatically be placed in the folder to which you have directed the conversation, even if you have deleted or ignored a conversation.
