Sybase to support iPhone
Sybase SA Mobile Solutions has announced the immediate launch of e-mail support for the iPhone 3G model, which aims to extend wireless e-mail to the Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange e-mail systems.
This offering is intended to enable iPhone users wireless e-mail access to Lotus Domino. This approach to providing enterprise e-mail support for the iPhone will provide a user experience utilising native iPhone applications and will reduce any potential security concerns, the company says.
The application is designed to assist in the provision of high-end technology to corporate and business users, SME owners as well as SOHO users. Smartphone users who require more than just voice will find immense value and benefit in this product offering, the company adds.
"The pre-launch hype around the iPhone, as well as the high sales figures forecast for SA as a result of sales elsewhere in the world, indicate a probable increase in the number of smartphone users locally. We are confident of the positive impact the iPhone will make on the local smartphone market," says Julie Tomlinson, director of Sybase SA Mobile Solutions Business Unit.
