Smartphone owners love their push email and easy syncing options. Let's face it, without those handy features, handheld mobile devices are little more than really clunky cell phones. Now Open-Xchange customers can use the newly released OXtender for Business Mobility to receive push email and sync their calendars and contacts right over the air on an iPhone, BlackBerry, myTouch and most other smartphones on the market today.
Open-Xchange is a popular alternative to Microsoft Exchange that also syncs and supports Macs and Apple Mobile devices. It's used to manage email, tasks, calendars, documents, contacts, and even social networking communication.
"Most current solutions are limited either to specific smartphones or require costly proprietary server solutions. The OXtender for Business Mobility provides users with easy-to-use mobile messaging and collaboration capabilities on all the devices they use -- anywhere, anytime, at a reasonable cost," said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange in a prepared statement.
Additional features of OXtender include:
* Users' personal communication data always synchronized with Open-Xchange and manageable anywhere via mobile phone;
* All-inclusive device coverage (including iPhone or Windows Mobile devices Version 6.x);
* Blackberry (PIM) and Android clients for Exchange ActiveSync available;
* End-to-end encrypted e-mail and PIM data push;
* End-to-end encrypted over-the-air synchronization of personal contacts, calendar and tasks;
* End-to-end encrypted over-the-air synchronization of global address book;
* Account management directly from the mobile device;
* Single-Sign-On (SSO) management.
OXtender for Business Mobility is available now for both the Open-Xchange Server and Hosting Editions, however the Open-Xchange Appliance Edition won't be available until after October 5, 2009. Pricing starts at $355 for the first 25 users and $14,22 for each additional user. Check out the Open-Xchange Web site for system requirements, full pricing information, and more.
