[UKPRwire, Mon Nov 12 2007] Synchronica plc, (AIM: SYNC.LN), the mobile synchronization and device management company, is pleased to announce that U.K. iPhone owners can now turn their new handset into a business phone by adding a secure corporate email service free of charge with just a few clicks.
Synchronica is the only vendor offering a live solution allowing iPhone owners to receive push email from Microsoft Exchange accounts without requiring additional software to be installed on the iPhone or behind the corporate firewall.
The free trial for U.K. iPhone users follows a successful trial running in the U.S. since August. More than 10,000 U.S. iPhone users have already signed up for the Mobile Gateway trial and have seamlessly incorporated their new handsets into their business life, using mobile email.
By signing up for a free 60-day U.K. trial with Synchronica's Mobile Gateway today, owners of the ground-breaking smartphone from Apple can receive their corporate email on their iPhones without having to install any additional software on the handset or behind the corporate firewall.
Mobile Gateway, which provides a link between the iPhone's built-in email client and Microsoft Exchange, is the perfect complement to iTunes for ensuring fast, secure synchronization of all business data. While iTunes synchronizes calendar and contacts with Microsoft Outlook, Mobile Gateway keeps the iPhone connected to corporate email when the user has left the office.
It provides tight integration between the iPhone and Microsoft Exchange and automatically delivers emails to the built-in email client of the iPhone including support for folders and attachments. Emails sent from the iPhone via Mobile Gateway automatically appear in the sent items folder of the user's Exchange account, just as if they had been sent from the user's PC.
Taking advantage of this offer is simple: Users just need to log on at www.synchronica.com and register their iPhone with Synchronica's Mobile Gateway and start to send and receive email immediately. Following the expiry of the 60-day trial, users will be migrated to a commercially supported service.
Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, said: "I know that those who have finally got their hands on the iPhone in the U.K. are going to love their new handset just as much I love mine. The iPhone is an iconic device with an exceptional user experience - and probably the first to deliver the complete web experience on a mobile device. Mobile Gateway closes the main gap in its functionality by connecting the iPhone to corporate Exchange mailboxes. Another reason to leave that BlackBerry in the drawer."
