QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM), a leader in digital wireless communications and advanced electronic messaging solutions for the Internet, today announced the commercial release of Eudora Internet Suite(TM) (EIS(TM)) 2.0 for the Palm Computing(TM) platform. EIS 2.0 software enables users of Palm OS(TM)-based handheld devices to send and receive email and browse the Internet with a wireless or wireline modem. It also synchronizes with Windows(R) desktop email via the HotSync(TM) feature.
EIS 2.0 software gives users the power to manage multiple email accounts on their Palm OS-based handheld device. The software also features an enhanced email user interface that supports multiple signatures, an expanded sort capability, and the ability to beam messages and browser bookmarks to other Palm OS-based devices.
"QUALCOMM is meeting consumers' growing demands for faster, more flexible technology," said Jeffrey K. Belk, senior vice president and general manager of QUALCOMM Eudora Products. "As a leader in wireless and Internet technology, QUALCOMM continues to evolve the Eudora product line to give consumers powerful new tools that allow for greater flexibility in how, when and where they access email and the Web."
Powerful New Features Manage Email Efficiently, Enhance Communication
Eudora Internet Suite 2.0 bundles three components to deliver the best email and browser combination for the Palm OS. These components are Eudora(R) email software for the Palm OS platform, the Eudora Mail Conduit(TM) (Windows only) and EudoraWeb(TM) browser for the Palm OS platform. A mail conduit for Mac OS is currently under development.
Eudora for the Palm OS platform -- EIS 2.0 software allows users to send and receive email from their Palm OS-based device. Email management is made easier with the following new features:
-- Support of multiple email accounts which allows users to check
and/or send mail one account at a
time or several at once, to
select which account a message is
sent by, and to filter by
account.
-- An enhanced user interface lets users perform filing
and
deleting actions on multiple messages.
Users can resize and
reorder mailbox columns, including
sender, date, subject and
status. It also includes an expanded
sort capability.
-- A detailed message display shows abbreviated, full
or raw
message headers and full message
priority. Users can tap on
the message headers to address a new
message.
-- The address capture feature allows users to save
addresses
from received messages to the Palm
address book. Users can
select any address in the header.
-- Extended authentication supports the SMTP AUTH
protocol,
needed to send email with some ISPs.
EIS 2.0 software's SMTP
AUTH and POP support all popular
authentication mechanisms and
automatically selects the most secure
mechanism.
-- The new account creation wizard guides users as they
create
new email accounts.
-- Support for multiple signatures that can be appended
to
outgoing messages.
-- Support for beaming of email messages between Palm
OS-based
devices running EIS 2.0 software.
-- The automatic disconnect option allows users to
disconnect
from the network after an email check
is complete.
Eudora Mail Conduit -- The Eudora Mail Conduit software enables users to
synchronize their Windows desktop email with their Palm OS device quickly and
efficiently. EIS software is compatible with Eudora email and other common
desktop email programs.
EudoraWeb browser for the Palm OS Platform -- With a dial-up Internet access account, users can browse virtually any destination on the Web with EIS 2.0 software. The browser is based on TCP/IP, HTTP/HTML standards, eliminating the need for a proxy server. EIS 2.0 software adds support for beaming bookmarks between Palm OS-based devices running EIS 2.0.
EIS 2.0 can be accessed three ways: unregistered, registered and unlimited sync. Unregistered and registered uses are free and sync only with desktop Eudora software in versions 4.3.2 and higher in Sponsored and Paid modes. Unlimited sync costs $29.95 (MSRP) and is compatible with most other desktop email programs. Eudora Internet Suite 2.0 software is available now for download at www.eudora.com.
To take advantage of the Internet functionality offered by EIS 2.0 software, a user must have a Palm OS device with 500Kb RAM free and modem access to the Internet (wireless or wired). The Internet functionality of Eudora email for Palm OS devices can also be accessed via the HotSync feature.
