It's here! It's here! Microsoft posted the Microsoft CRM 3.0 Mobile Express software to the Sandbox website today. They teased us with this great looking software back at the partner conference in July, so it's great to finally get our hands on it. How much does it cost you ask? Well it's free so go ahead and get this up and running in your deployments ASAP.

CRM Mobile Express for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 is a shared-source initiative sponsored by Microsoft that offers a lightweight, mobile browser client for viewing and editing data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. Now you can manage important Sales, Service and Marketing information from your Windows Mobile, Smartphone and HTML 4.0 compatible devices! CRM Mobile Express for Microsoft CRM also includes a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Administration Console that can be used to customize your mobile data objects - such as adding custom CRM entities to CRM Mobile Express, set data object read and write permissions, and configure mobile forms according to your CRM system's design. This community project comes complete with three documents - an Installation guide, a User guide and a Developer guide, as well as the application source code for both the CRM Mobile Express Client and Administration Console applications. Developers can use Visual Studio.net 2005 to extend and modify both applications as they see fit. So go ahead - Express yourself with CRM Mobile Express for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0!

Now we just need to figure out how we can make time to install and test this. On the plus side, one person already posted on the message board he got the software installed and working in 30 minutes. That's a great sign.
