| Free email/PIM push targets "all" devices |
Apr. 05, 2006
Emblaze Ltd. has announced a secure push service for delivering email and PIM (personal information manager) data such as contacts and calendar to any and all devices. Emoze Personal Edition, will allow anyone with a compatible mobile phone or PDA to receive emails and PIM data anywhere in the world, according to the company.
Emblaze claims that the initial Emoze release works with "all" Microsoft Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices having a GPRS or other data connection with Microsoft Outlook and POP3 online email services such as Hotmail, Yahoo!, and Gmail. The service is available on any wireless GSM, CDMA, or WiFi network, including 2.5G and 3G variations such as WCDMA/UMTS, CDMA2000, 802.xx, Wi-Max, GPRS (2.5G), EDGE, CDMA 1xRTT, CDMA 1xEVDO, and many others, the company adds.
Within the next few months, Emoze "will cover the vast majority of remaining mobile devices and will keep maintaining and adapting the service for all newly emerging mobile devices over time," a company spokesman said. Emblaze is committed to covering "all devices and known email services on both corporate as well as consumer levels, and will continue to adapt Emoze to cover the ever-growing range of devices and models." Next in line for Emoze support are Palm devices and Mac OS and Linux platforms, as well as corporate Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes Domino servers "without the need of PC based on-line software."
Push email services have previously been available "mainly in a very costly package and mostly restricted to specific hardware and software platforms such as the Blackberry, thus limiting mass market adoption," said the spokesman. "Emblaze believes that mobile push email and PIM data should become a commodity service -- a given -- just like a voice call. Anyone from corporate users to individuals should have access to this basic service as part of their day to day communications," he said.
The company claims it has achieved "dramatically enhanced performance on both message delivery/sync and push management" with Emoze. "Unlike other solutions in the market place, Emoze has created a real push-event technology, in which synchronization occurs only on incoming and outgoing events, rather than via periodical connections to the email server and checks for change," the spokesman explained. "This part of the technology not only saves the user connectivity-related costs but also dramatically reduces device power usage."
The company also claims "one of the best security solutions" available for mobile email. "Emoze does not gather or send information from users' PCs or in-boxes," said the spokesman. "There are no cookies, no spyware, and no duplication of user data on emoze servers. For corporate users, Emoze does not require the opening of new ports, thus preventing hacking vulnerability. All Emoze transmissions and messaging is encrypted with the highest possible industry standards."
