"Push" email may reach 40 million devices by 2008
Aug. 10, 2005

Wireless "push" email services are estimated to currently be reaching some 4.2 million mobile devices, a user base that may swell to 40 million by 2008. The numbers are based on analyst findings, press reports, and customer comments compiled by Intellisync, a provider of mobile device push services.

Research In Motion's (RIM) Blackberry currently dominates the field, with about 3 million users representing 71 percent of the market, according to Intellisync. Intellisync's half-million users put it in second place, at 12 percent, it says. Unlike RIM, however, Intellisync's approach is platform-independent and supports a broad range of devices and embedded operating systems including Windows Mobile, the company notes.

"Wireless push email will be one of the fastest growing sectors of the telecommunications market in the coming years," said Teney Takahashi, senior analyst at messaging industry research firm The Radicati Group, as reported by Intellisync. "We predict that by the year 2008 the total market for wireless push email will exceed 40 million users, which represents an annual growth rate of over 100 percent in each of the next three years, Takahashi added. "As a device-agnostic, platform- independent wireless email software provider, Intellisync is in an excellent position to gain share in this growing market, and presents the most credible threat in the wireless push email market."
