Infusion Development Corp. Announces Release of the Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry
Use Your BlackBerry Wireless Handheld™ to View, Send & Receive Email & Attachments from Your Laptop
NEW YORK - Infusion Development Corp., a software development, technology training and consulting company specializing in the financial services industry, today announced the release of the Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™, which enables BlackBerry™ users to send, receive and view email and attachments from their laptops via their BlackBerry™ handhelds.
Infusion Development will be introducing the Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™ to the wireless technology community at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, being held in Atlanta April 29 through May 2.
Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™ acts like any commercial email server, allowing BlackBerry™ users to send and receive emails through their regular email programs, including Outlook, Lotus, Eudora, Outlook Express and others. No other BlackBerry™ third-party solution on the market today offers users this and the ability to view and work with attachments in their original format, such as Excel, Lotus or Word.
"Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™ was developed in response to my waiting in yet another long line in an airport lounge for a dialup connection, just to view an attachment and send a quick reply. With an estimated 67% of BlackBerry™ users owning a laptop, our team at Infusion Development decided to find a solution bundling the two together to keep mobile executives operating like they're connected, even when they can't be," said Gregory Brill, President of Infusion Development Corp. and creator of the Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™.
Two simple components make up Infusion Antenna for BlackBerry™, www.infusionantenna.com.
A small application installs on your BlackBerry™ handheld by using the application loader on BlackBerry™ Desktop Manager.
A small footprint email server that runs on your laptop or any PC attached to a BlackBerry™ handheld via the BlackBerry™ cradle. The Infusion email server stands in for your regular email server while you're offsite, processing your incoming and outgoing email, then routing it through your BlackBerry™ cradle and handheld, which does all the broadcasting and receiving.
Infusion Development Corporation, www.infusiondev.com, offers software development, technology training and consulting services for large financial firms in the New York and Toronto areas. Our focus is on emerging software development technologies. Infusion also authors the programming book series CodeNotes®, www.codenotes.com.
The BlackBerry and RIM families of related marks, images and symbols are the exclusive properties of Research In Motion Limited.
