        According to Novell, Groupwise is collaboration software that provides email, calendaring, instant messaging, task management, contact, and document management functions. The company claims it represents the "leading alternative" to Microsoft Exchange.

        Omni says its Mobility Suite is the first, cross-platform wireless suite to provide "native, real-time GroupWise client connectivity" for both GroupWise and GroupWise Messenger. The suite offers real-time mobile access without requiring users to upgrade to the latest version of GroupWise, or install the "middle-tier" database or gateway servers typically required by other approaches, according to the company.

        Version 1.0 of Omni Mobility supports Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Pocket PC Phones; Palm Treo 650, 600, LifeDrive and Tungsten; and Sony Ericsson P910, P900, P800. Version 1.1 will add Nokia Series 60 and Series 90 devices. Additionally, Omni Syncaphone supports "virtually all Java cell phones," according to the company. Omni Messenger supports Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones, and Palm PDAs.
