Looks like Palm scored it big with Vodafone, as well as furthering relations with Microsoft in promotion of push email throughout Europe. Now, will this mean we'll be seeing new Window Mobile based models from Palm? We certainly hope so, and according to the Press Release, the Palm Treo Smartphone will be the first to tread the waters of the Vodafone 3G/UMTS network.
Today, only an estimated 2 percent of business email inboxes worldwide are accessed via mobile, according to market research firm The Radicati Group. Palm, Vodafone and Microsoft will target this large, untapped market with real-time push email using Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack available on Windows Mobile 5.0, which includes Direct Push Technology and enhanced security features.
"Vodafone's business customers expect us to help them increase productivity and make the most of their business and personal time," said Nick Jeffery, global director of Business Marketing, Vodafone. "The new Treo smartphone will be a market-leading device, which combined with our high-speed 3G/UMTS network and real-time push email, will make this an invaluable business tool."
