Royal Tunbridge Wells - 25 June 2007: Synchronica plc, an international provider
of mobile synchronization and device management solutions, received the Mobile
Service award at the eco Internet Awards 2007 in Cologne for Mobile Gateway 3.0
Synchronica was announced as the winner of the prestigious award for best
product in the Mobile Service category at the eco gala event last Thursday in
Cologne, Germany. Synchronica, an expert in push-email, beat off the fierce
competition of more than 200 other applicants to convince a jury of press,
analysts, IT and telecoms experts that the Mobile Gateway was the best mobile
service product. Synchronica joins a high profile list of previous winners
including Monster, the jobs portal, Xing and Siemens Business Services.
Every year the association of the German Internet industry - eco - awards a
prize to companies for an innovative and extraordinary product or service which
brings a significant user benefit. The categories are ISP, ASP and Mobile
Service.
The award winning Mobile Gateway from Synchronica is an independent platform,
based entirely on open industry standards. It allows push e-mail and data
synchronization with almost all mobile phones available on the market without
the need to install an additional client on the device. After a simple online
registration the synchronisation of contact and calendar data as well as
transmission of e-mails is immediately available. Due to the full support of POP
3 and IMAP, the consumer is able use popular e-mail services like MSN, AOL,
Gmail or Yahoo. And businesses can employ the system to operate with mail
servers like Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and Sun JES.
"The internet has become increasingly mobile. Does this mean the Internet will
conquer the mobile world? We believe that the Synchronica's Mobile Gateway has
exactly that potential. We are sure that this will become an alternative to
popular SMS text messages in Germany", said Dr. Bettina Horster, Head of
M-Commerce task force for the eco Association. "
"We are delighted to have won the award for best Mobile Service in the eco
Awards 2007. This encourages us in our effort to enable mobile email for the
mass market," comments Nicole Meissner, Chief Marketing Officer of Synchronica
"Push Email will shortly expand to the prosumer and consumer markets. Virtually
every mobile phone user has an email account and most of them now have an
email-enabled device. This is the most cost effective alternative to the
Blackberry for the mass market."
The eco Award is the fourth award Synchronica's Mobile Gateway has received
within 6 months. The other awards received have been the Golden Marcom Creative
Award (AMCP), Seal of E-Excellence and most recently the Innovationspreis ITK
