Calls it Pcket X-Press
HP has launched a designated push email solution for its iPAQ 6340 using software from Dialogs Software.
HP strengthens its position in the mobile messaging market in Europe today by announcing Pocket X-Press, a “push” email solution for the HP iPAQ 6340. HP will offer this service in cooperation with Dialogs Software GmbH, which specialises in mobile data communication solutions.
Mailbox access and administration is an essential function of a mobile office. The hosted “push” email service powered by Dialogs offers instant delivery of new emails, the selective download of emails or the forwarding of attachments without previously downloading them. Users have anytime/anywhere connectivity to their SMTP/POP3 or IMAP4 format email accounts (such as Lycos, Yahoo or GMX) using the mobile GPRS service provider of their choice.
“The development of our latest mobile solution with Dialogs provides our customers with the top-notch service they have come to expect. The Pocket X-Press “push” email service enables our customers to access their data while out of the office and therefore remain productive,” said Neil Dagger, Handheld and Wireless Device Manager, HP UK and Ireland.
Pocket X-Press is designed to increase productivity at an affordable price. All emails are compressed before transfer, therefore significantly enhancing transmission speed. The intelligent connection management of the Pocket X-Press client ensures a permanent connection to the “push” server. Pocket X-Press also enables browsing with end-to-end compression on the Internet. Future generations of converged iPAQs, including the upcoming HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger, will also support this messaging service.
Easy Installation and Handling
Pocket X-Press has been specifically developed for the HP iPAQ h6340 and will be available for future HP converged products. Pocket X-Press software is simple to download and can be installed in minutes. No additional server installation is required and Pocket X-Press integrates directly into the operating system, supporting Pocket Outlook and Pocket Internet Explorer.
For less than £6 a month, Pocket X-Press offers “Push” email and fast web browsing for small business customers. The new service can be downloaded by customers in the UK from mid-March at www.ipaqchoice.com/email. Versions for additional countries will be available in mid-May.
