20 February 2007 – emoze was victorious in the mobile push email showdown with BlackBerry™ at 3GSM World Congress 2007 in Barcelona last week.  Two duelers using emoze and BlackBerry battled it out to see who could provide users with their emails quickest, and emoze emerged as comfortable winners. 

Both shooters stood back to back with their respective handsets – one a BlackBerry™, the other a regular mobile phone with the emoze push email application installed.  A Gmail account was opened and the email address given to the two duelers.  They both created an email on their handsets, walked three paces and on the count of three, turned around and pushed 'send'.  The audience watched a screen to see whether the email sent via BlackBerry™ or emoze would arrive fastest, and as the tension started to build, the emoze email appeared in the inbox first.

“BlackBerry™ is considered the mobile push email gold standard, and the emoze vs. BlackBerry™ showdown at 3GSM clearly demonstrated the benefits of equipping your mobile device to send and receive real-time push email, through a simple free download,” said Benny Ballin, emoze chief executive officer.  “With emoze, mobile users can now effectively revolutionise the capabilities of their devices.  emoze provides the means for both consumer and enterprise mobile users to securely send and receive mobile email and other data, enabling them to stay connected wherever they are.  A significant advantage of emoze is that we also place great emphasis on the quality of user experience and efficiency of the mobile device.”

By downloading emoze from www.emoze.com, mobile users can transform their devices to send and receive mobile email and personal information management (PIM) data in real-time – anytime, anywhere.  All you need is a compatible phone and a data package from a mobile operator. 

A significant advantage of emoze is that its real push-event technology synchronizes only on incoming and outgoing events, rather than via periodical connections to the email server and checks for change.  This not only saves the user connectivity-related costs but also delivers increased efficiency in device power consumption, memory use and CPU.
