Push mail technology in HTC PDA handsets!

Imran Aziz | Friday, 1 August 2008


Users of HTC PDA handsets are able to exchange e-mails just like the SMS through Push Mail technology. By using push mail technology, one can exchange e-mails instantly and efficiently.

Available in most of today's smartphones and PDAs, push mail allows users to synchronise their email accounts with their PDA handsets, enabling them to receive emails or make contacts and even calendar appointments directly to their phones.

By synchronising their e-mail account, the users do not need sign in to their mail account to use their phones' web browsers to check email.

Rather, any email, received are directly pushed to the phone with the users getting an instant notification, just like regular SMS.

This "instant" e-mail appears on the device as soon as it arrives, without the need for any user intervention, making PDAs and Smartphones, like the Blackberry very popular in the West, especially among corporate users.

In Bangladesh, the trend of push-email is catching up fast. HTC, one of the world's leading manufacturers of Smartphones and Pocket PCs, recently introduced a range of PDAs offering the Windows Mobile 5.0 Direct Push technology.

Using this technology, users of HTC can sync their phone with office Exchange Servers, enabling them to directly access their outlook e-mail with their PDAs to stay "mobile".

Furthermore, the HTC mobile devices are equipped with Microsoft Windows Mobile applications like MS Mobile Word, MS Mobile Excel, MS Mobile PowerPoint, and Internet Explorer Mobile, making it a true "pocket PC".

Recently, Warid Telecom, the fourth largest mobile operator in the country, has launched a handset bundle deal with HTC, which brings a variety of PDAs and Smartphones to post-paid users equipped with this push mail technology.

The HTC handsets, bundled with Zahi Royal connection, have unlimited mobile internet access, are available at all Warid Sales and Customer Service Centers.

Founded in 1997, High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) is a technology provider specialising in cutting-edge converged mobile devices.

HTC has established unique partnerships with key mobile operators, including five leading European mobile operators, the top four US operators, and many fast-growing Asian operators.

One of the fastest-growing companies in the mobile device market today, HTC makes 80 per cent of the mobile phones running the Windows OS.
