Critical Apps

I'll be new to Android starting on June 4th and I'll be retiring my Blackberry Tour. There are a few apps on my Blackberry that I really like and use daily. So I have a few questions for the Android gurus out there.

1. Exchange Email- I work for a Computer Company that blocks access to their Exchange Server and although I've requested access repeatedly, they deny me every time. Is there a work around for Android similar to the Blackberry Desktop Redirector?

2. Sirius/XM- I know it's not available yet for Android but I was wondering if anyone has an update on the future availability of this App for the Evo.

3. Password Keeper- I would not be able to survive without this App on my Blackberry. Is there something as good or better available on the Android Market?

4. Can anyone recommend a good Chess Application for the Evo?

1. You can sync with your Exchange account in the initial setup.

2. Not sure about satellite radio, but there is a ton of internet radio. Pandora is my personal favorite.

3. There are a ton of password keeper apps in the Market.

4. "Chess for Android" is probably the best.

How can I do that if my Company won't give me access to the Server? With my Blackberry I have to use Desktop Redirector to get my email. I'm asking if there is something similar to that for Android.

I have no idea. I've never used Exchange, myself. I just know that there is that option of syncing an account. Sorry.
