> BlueWhaleMail - Push Email for the Rest of us
Bookmark topic
Launched today, a new, free service for mobile phones starts bringing easy email access to the 2.7 billion people with ordinary mobile phones. Michael Maguire, who previously worked in the BlackBerry Applications team at Research In Motion, founded Blue Whale Systems Ltd: its BlueWhaleMail application offers a free mobile push email and push Facebook service. On launch, the service will initially be available for Nokia Series 60 and SonyEricsson feature phones.
ADVERTISEMENT "My team and I think there are some great dedicated mobile email devices out there - but we're biased, because half of us helped build one of them," said Michael Maguire. "Unfortunately the rest of the world's 1.1 billion email users have phones with unusable, hard to configure in-built email that few people can be bothered to set-up. With BlueWhaleMail, we've gone back to the drawing board so that people can keep the phone they like and still stay in touch on the go."
BlueWhaleMail doesn't just allow you to securely send and receive email messages from services such as Yahoo! and Google Mail*, it also notifies you of your friends' status updates and news items on Facebook, and allows you to send them a message or write on their wall in response. Messages and notifications are displayed as soon as they are received without requiring users to manually connect to their inbox.

Sounds good. The Push email is one thing I am still to take advantage of.
