New WebMessenger Mobile IM Clients Provide Secure, Wireless Connectivity across All Public and Private Networks for Enterprise and Business Professionals
WebMessenger, provider of mobile instant-messaging products for enterprises and consumers, today announced the latest releases of its Mobile Instant Messenger (IM) clients for Palm and Pocket PC (PPC) devices.

3DES Encryption -- ability to encrypt communication for added security and regulatory/enterprise compliance
IM Networks Wizard -- launches automatically and helps set up proxy accounts for all supported networks
Enhanced IM Networks Screen -- completely re-designed IM networks screen gives users a one screen overview of their interoperability accounts and an easy-to-use interface to manage their accounts and contacts
Buddy List Logo Icons -- uses IM network logos for buddy icons, making it much quicker and easier to determine status and initiate chats with buddies from various IM networks
5 Way Navigation Bar Utilization -- users can navigate through buddy lists, read messages, collapse/expand groups and much more simply by using the 5 way navigation control found on both Palm and PPC devices, eliminating the need for a stylus
