iPhone Gets Grown Up Email

Forget the image of iPhone going into the pockets of regular consumers. Apple more likely has the cashed-up professional smartphone market in its sites and accordingly it's arranged for corporate email provider Visto, to support the new handset.

Due for launch in the U.S. on the 29th of June, the iPhone is causing a stir of anticipation and hype as potential buyers line-up to be among the first to buy Apple's latest offering. With Visto coming to the party, those users will be able to take it to work and get the IT department to give them access to company Exchange and Domino corporate messaging platforms.

Visto Mobile will directly offer secure and easy-to-use mobile access to corporate and personal email for the iPhone in the United States. Additionally, Visto Mobile offers iPhone users peace of mind by securing their personal information using end-to-end security.

For IT departments, this means that they can encrypt and protect sensitive corporate data without making any changes to their existing security infrastructure.

"The iPhone and other devices to follow will continue to accelerate demand for secure mobile access to corporate data including email, contacts, calendar and other important information sources," said Brian Bogosian, president, chairman and CEO of Visto.

"The unique attributes of the iPhone will generate incremental demand for smart devices and
will raise the bar for other phone manufacturers to meet and exceed any user experience enhancements that Apple has made," he continues.

"To be useful to business users, it must easily and securely provide access to corporate email - and that's where Visto adds value and functionality for end users as they consider the iPhone over BlackBerry, Symbian or Windows Mobile devices as their single converged device to support both their personal and business needs."

Visto Mobile for the iPhone will be available in late Q3 2007. iPhone users will be able to take advantage of a free 60-day trial of the Visto Mobile service.
