Direct Push Email Coming For Treo 700w
The forthcoming Windows Mobile Messaging and Security Feature Pack from Palm will enable “direct push” email on the Treo 700w.
“The Treo 700w with the new Security Feature Pack and the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess network will give our business customers the enhanced mobile office experience they need to be competitive,” said Rich Meigh, Verizon Wireless vice president – device marketing. “The up-to-the-minute updates provided by this new Messaging and Security Feature Pack translate into increased employee productivity, improved customer responsiveness and faster return on investment for our business customers.“
“Direct Push Technology helps Palm Treo 700w customers stay on top of their jobs by quickly receiving and sending email and all other Microsoft Outlook information while they are on-the-go,” said Suzan DelBene, corporate vice president of marketing, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. “The strong integration between Palm and Microsoft is an example of our commitment to build solid partnerships, creating a thriving mobile-industry ecosystem and raising the mobile experience to great heights.”
“Enterprise CIOs have told us that the addition of MSFP to the Treo 700w is key to their wider deployment of the 700w across their companies and deep into their lines of business,” said John Hartnett, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer relations at Palm. “We believe this high-ROI, easy-to-deploy push email and messaging solution will delight CIOs and end users alike. Our collective enterprise sales teams have hundreds of companies lined up and ready to initiate trials, which we expect will soon be under way with the availability of MSFP.“
Key features of the new Windows Mobile Messaging and Security Feature Pack include:
- Direct Push Email Technology that enables the Treo 700w to automatically receive email, calendar, contacts and tasks wirelessly as soon as it arrives on Exchange Server 2003 SP2
- Over-the-air lookup of a company’s Exchange Global Address List (GAL), providing employees with quick access to colleagues’ email and contact information; and
- Added security features for IT administrators, such as over-the-air device password policy enforcement and remote wipe of the device in case it is lost or stolen
The update for the Treo 700w will be available later this month on http://dts.vzw.com and http://www.palm.com as a free download and included in subsequent Treo 700w smartphones and future Treo smartphones based on Windows Mobile. Videos of the security features are available on Microsoft
