Cannot use Microsoft Exchange account to connect to Google Apps hosted accounts.

Question

I am the Desktop and Device support Coordinator for my Department.  We use Google Apps to host our email, calendar, docs, etc.  On iOS and Android devices to connect we use an exchange account.
Email: [email protected]
Server: m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Username: username
And it works just fine.  However when we give the touchpad the same info, we get an error, bad username or password.  This is using passwords greater than 12 characters, with spaces and special characters.
Username: username
Email: [email protected]
Server: https://m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Any though on what we are doing wrong, or does webos exchange accounts not suppor this?

First, changing the password and trying it again with the "Google" account type doesn't work.  And it shouldn't, on every other device (Android, iOS) if we try it with the standard "Google" account it does not work.
Now on every other device we use the "Microsoft Exchange" account type and it does work. Because Google provides a Microsoft Exchange account to act as a connector to their services.
Remember, this is not a standard google account, this is an App account, and as such cannot use the standard google login.  If I tried to login to any of our app service (mail.google.com, calendar.google.com, docs.google.com) from it's google site it fails.  The only way we can access the account is through a special login page that ties into our single sign on (mail.example.com, cal.example.com, docs.example.com), or use the Exchange Connector.
Now if the Microsoft Exchange account connection does not work in webOs to connect to Google, great.  We return our tablets, and discourage pre's. But I really like webOS and would really like to use the touch pad and keep my pre.
