Intellisync Teams With Dopod to Extend Wireless Email Platform Support for Dopod 900
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 25 -- Intellisync
Corporation (Nasdaq: SYNC), the leader in platform-independent wireless
messaging and mobile software, today announced its wireless email and mobile
software platform for the Dopod 900. The Dopod 900, the first 3G smartphone
running on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, is commonly referred to as
the "super-mini notebook" that fits in your pocket. This announcement is yet
another step in Intellisync's march towards ubiquitous mobile computing, and
supports Intellisync's distinction as supporting the broadest range of devices
and platforms in the mobile messaging industry.
"Intellisync Wireless Email is the full-featured wireless email platform
that keeps Dopod 900 & Dopod 838 users connected and productive. It supports
Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and IMAP/POP3 servers," said Terry Chung,
Country Manager, Dopod International (H.K.) Corp. Ltd. "We're very happy to
work with Intellisync to allow enterprises, consumers and operators to benefit
from single source solutions for wireless messaging and synchronization."
Global sales of WCDMA 3G handsets will more than triple to around
58 million units this year, compared to 18 million units last year, with Japan
and Europe recording the fastest growth, according to Gartner.
"As the market continues to expand with the introduction of highly
sought-after smartphones such as the Dopod 900 in Asia, Intellisync continues
to innovate and provide broadest device support with the most comprehensive
wireless communications suite available," said Rip Gerber, Intellisync chief
marketing officer. "We are very excited to be working so closely with Dopod
and intend to support their emerging business-optimized devices. Our support
for the Dopod smartphones enables businesses and carriers to provide the most
advanced communications services available on one of the hottest 3G devices in
the wireless space," he added.
Dopod -- The Asia Mobile Market Phenomenon
There is growing excitement in the mobile industry in general, and in the
Asian markets, specifically for the new Dopod devices. Recent press have cited
that Taiwan's Dopod International, with a high-end mobile phone strategy, is
rapidly expanding its operations in Asia. One of its investors, High Tech
Computer Corp. (HTC), is considered Taiwan's leading original design
manufacturer for smart handheld devices. HTC supplies phones to Dopod and some
of the world's major mobile-phone operators such as Sprint Nextel Corp. of the
US. "The Dopod 900, the world's first 3G pocket PC, has not only generated an
enthusiastic response locally but also overseas," said Peter Chou, president
of High Tech Computer Corp, as reported by Taipei Times last month.
The Dopod 900 is the first 3G Windows 5.0 device with a 3.6", 65K rotating
color screen and has an exceptional resolution of 640 x 480. The unit is
programmed to automatically switch from vertical to horizontal display. It
supports GSM/GPRS (900/1800/1900) and WCDMA (UMTS) mobile communication
standards to ensure seamless connections anywhere around the world. The device
boasts improved support of extensive multimedia and productivity applications,
broad integration of digital multimedia features, and faster connections to
the Internet and email servers. Seamless synchronization with email/PIM and
data, faster connection speeds, and versatile multimedia features, enable
customers to be more productive and enjoy their device anywhere, anytime.
