PostPath Adds 3G iPhone Support for Enterprise Email Users

PostPath, which offers an enterprise email and collaboration server that is a drop-in alternative to Microsoft Exchange, now fully supports Apple's new iPhone 3G and iPhone 2.0 software. The iPhone's Mail and Calendar applications are supported with no plug-in, nothing to download and no modification to the device configuration.


In addition to iPhone 2.0, the PostPath Server's native support includes mixed environments and the spectrum of enterprises' most popular devices, including iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and other ActiveSync-enabled devices. With the PostPath Server, enterprise customers -- including iPhone users -- have access to full-feature, enterprise-grade messaging and collaboration at a significantly lower cost than Microsoft Exchange. Organizations can take advantage of the operational efficiency and cost savings of the PostPath server to roll out large mailboxes and mobile messaging to their users much easier and cheaper than with Exchange 2007.
