Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 2.0 Software Provides Users with
Enterprise Class Features for Synchronization of E-Mails, Calendar and
Contacts
Zimbra, a Yahoo! (Nasdaq:YHOO) company, and the leader in open source,
next-generation messaging and collaboration software, today announced
general availability of Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 2.0.
Zimbra Mobile provides over-the-air (OTA) two-way synchronization of
e-mails, multiple calendars and contacts between user mailboxes and
mobile devices, and enables seamless “push”
e-mail service for all versions of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS)
Network Edition Standard or Professional, including the most current
version, ZCS 5.0. Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 2.0 software allows iPhone
users to maximize their business functions on the iPhone, complementing
Apple’s recently added support for Microsoft
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG and iWork. Additionally, Zimbra
Mobile for iPhone enables OTA photo-sync, so photos associated with
iPhone contacts will sync with the Zimbra address book as well.
“We believe the iPhone is a great device for
both personal and business use, and we are dedicated to providing iPhone
users with mobile support to match iPhone’s
enterprise class capabilities,” said Satish
Dharmaraj, Yahoo! VP and Zimbra co-founder. “We’re
demonstrating our commitment to the Apple community by enabling Zimbra
Mobile with the best iPhone enterprise support.”
“We’re very
excited that Zimbra is leveraging Apple’s
support for over-the-air sync on any iPhone or iPod touch with 2.0
software,” said Jon Enos, CIO, Franklin and
Marshall College. “The iPhone and iPod touch
are sure to be very popular among students, faculty and staff and we
look forward to rolling out Zimbra Mobile capabilities to iPhone and
iPod touch users across campus.”
The newest version of Zimbra Mobile for iPhone for Zimbra Collaboration
Suite 5.0.9 adds support for synchronizing multiple calendars and
address books, and also takes advantage of the latest Zimbra Server and
iPhone software enhancements to further optimize push email performance.
Support for iPhones running 2.0 software is part of a wide range of
smartphones Zimbra Mobile already supports, including Microsoft Window
Mobile devices (PocketPCs and Smartphones), Palm Treo series, Nokia E
series, BlackBerry and other devises running third party clients.
Users can test Zimbra Mobile for iPhone through Zimbra's Hosted Demo.
