Yodlee.com, pioneer and leader of personal account aggregation on the Internet, today announced an in-box content relationship with Palm, Inc. that will enable Palm(TM) handheld computer users to create their own personal, wireless, personal portal on their Palm handheld.
Through the agreement, Yodlee's Yodlee2Go web clipping application will be bundled with certain future Palm products under the name "MyInfo". MyInfo will give Palm handheld users comprehensive, wireless access to all their personal information -- including bank balances, stock portfolios, travel reservations, bills, and more -- from a single web clipping application. Yodlee was selected by Palm for its account aggregation technology, which automatically consolidates personal content from across the Web and delivers it, summarized and formatted, to registered users on wireless devices such as a Palm VII handheld using the Palm.Net(R) service.
"There is a fundamental change that needs to occur when you shift from delivering services to users via the web to delivering services on mobile devices. We've been able to combine the best of both worlds to meet the unique needs of mobile users and leverage the strengths of Palm handhelds," said Jim Taschetta, chief marketing officer at Yodlee.com. "We're pleased to be working closely with Palm to deliver an unprecedented, personal experience for wireless Palm handheld users."
"Palm aims to give its users easy access to highly relevant, personal information, and our content providers play an important role in achieving that goal," said Francis Hoge, vice president, content strategy and marketing at Palm, Inc. "Yodlee's application represents the type of personalized solution that will drive the continued adoption of handheld computers by adding value and convenience for mobile users."
MyInfo powered by Yodlee will allow wirelessly enabled Palm handheld users to:
-- Access personal information from over 1,400 web sites - including bank
balances, travel reservations, investments, email subject headers, news
headlines, bills, shopping orders, and more - directly on their wirelessly
enabled Palm handheld with a single, secure log-in
-- View update-to-date summaries of all their recent account activities in
one place
-- Insert personal account information from the Web directly into Date
Book, Memo, and To Do applications on the Palm handheld
-- Add new web accounts directly from the Palm handheld
MyInfo, powered by Yodlee, will be bundled with future Palm handheld computers. Users can easily start their free MyInfo account by signing up for a Palm.Net account at www.Palm.Net and then selecting the personal accounts they wish to view and access from MyInfo. MyInfo will automatically provide updated summaries and one-click access to users' accounts in a highly secure environment. MyInfo will help simplify life with convenient access to all the information that matters most -- any time. In addition, MyInfo leverages Certicom ECC and SSL security technologies to protect sensitive user data in transit, and employs advanced secure network infrastructure and physical security measures to keep user data under lock and key.
