MWC 2010: Efficient Mobile Data services needed

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:58:00 +0000

Momail has just returned from another busy Mobile World Congress with many new ideas, new contacts and very constructive partner meetings. We're now even more excited for what is in store in 2010!

One of the more prevelant themes of the week was the need for more efficient mobile data services. Everyone from AT&T, to RIM, to even Facebook, were highlighting the need, and requesting solutions. It's clearly an interesting change given that just a few years ago operators were more concerned about increasing data usage, at a high cost to consumers, than making it more efficient. Now, with the advent of data intensive handsets such as the iPhone and Nexus One, they finally realize the need to better manage their infrastructure.

Of course, Momail has always known this time would come, and has been focused on efficient data delivery since day 1. While we can't claim that Momail can solve all the data issues, if more mobile customers used Momail (or Momail's technology) in place of their current email providers, it could clearly help operators and handset operators in their quest for more efficient data services!

Momail launched with Eagle Mobile!

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:18:00 +0000

Momail continues its expansion into Eastern Europe with its exciting launch with Eagle Mobile in Albania. What makes it different? In addition to enabling Eagle Mobile's users to take advantage of all of Momail's cool features, these users can now also easily activation our Facebook service. By doing so, they can now quickly upload pictures and update their status on Facebook without going to a PC or the mobile web. Now that's cool!

Post to your social networks simultaneously

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:29:00 +0000

Momail makes it easy to post to your social networks simultaneously with the Momail Group Functionality. All you need to do is log into your Momail account, go to "Contacts", and choose "New Group". Here you can name your group whatever you'd like, and add email addresses for your email uploads.

For example, this morning I quickly created a group called "Pictures", added my email upload addresses for Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, and uploaded a picture of Paris directly from my phone. The entire process took less than 2 minutes!

So spread the word in more ways than one ;)

Momail expands into Taiwan

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:08:00 +0000

Building up on our recent successes with Telenor and Tele2 in Eastern Europe, Momail is now going further eastward! We've just announced our latest partnership with Taiwain Mobile, which will offer Momail within their new service, "Catchmail".

This is great step in Momail's growth path.... and there is still more to come!

Momail saved its users 5M € in 2009

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:38:00 +0000

We all know Momail minimizes the amount of data used when delivering email to mobile handsets. But what does that mean to your wallet? In a rough estimate of per MB costs offered by operators in our biggest countries, we've estimated that Momail has saved its users almost 5 Million Euros thus far this year. That's alot of dough!

More information on Momail's data saving technology may be found in this posting and on our corporate site.

Momail announces Tele2 partnership

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:12:00 +0000

Momail launches a User Forum

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:55:00 +0000

Ask questions, find answers, provide tips and learn how other users are making the most of Momail!

It's now even easier to ask questions and learn more about Momail from other users! We've just launched a User Forum to make it easier for our customers to both connect to other customers and to the Momail team.

In the Forum you can learn more about using Momail on different handsets and platforms, provide feedback and make suggestions on what you'd like Momail to develop next. The more feedback you provide, the more we can improve the service to best suit your needs!

Of course you can also continue to send your questions to support@momail.com if you'd prefer.

Momail to the rescue!

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:43:00 +0000

The talk at CTIA last week in San Diego highlighted the increasing amount of mobile data customers are using. For those in the digital industry, this is a great development. However, it's a mixed blessing for the operators. There is more and more discussion about the need for more bandwidth at the operator level - and popularity of handsets like the iPhone and its competitors are only highlighting this issue.

But what if more operators and end customers used Momail? Well, as Momail reduces the amount of data used by its customers by an average of 86%, simple logic leads one to believe Momail can help lighten the load for operators and consumers alike.

Now it's easier to customize your Momail account

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:25:00 +0000

Yesterday, Momail updated its service to make it even easier to use!

Among other cool updates, we've simplified the ability to customize the type and size of the attachments you'd like to receive to your mobile.

For example, if you'd like to receive music files on your phone, just go to the "Control Panel" within your Momail account, click the type and size you'd like to receive, and save. Just be aware that these attachments will not be optimized (at least not yet!), and therefore you may incur additional data expenses. However, if you have a flat-rate data plan from your operator, feel free to go crazy ;)

These adjustments can be made for multiple file types, from graphics, to video, to music, and even for various document types. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

Access your mail on Android with Momail

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:26:00 +0000

Do you have a Google Android handset, and would like to access more than just Gmail? Momail can help! Just follow these simple steps to access your all your email (without pesky Google-inspired restrictions ;)

Is the Gmail mobile app really that good?

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:00:00 +0000

Momail's customers don't think so.

As most familiar with us know by now, one of the key features of Momail is that we enable users to consolidate their email into one easy to access mailbox, both on the mobile handset and web. According to our statistics, users forward their Gmail mail into Momail many, many times mor than any other major webmail service. The primary reasons:

- Usability: Momail is easier to use, and is available on more handsets
- Data optimization: Momail minimizes the amount of data delivered to the handset by up to 99%
- Attachment handling: As Momail works on the native platform of the handset, it is much easier to save attachments to the phone, as well as attach photos stored in the phone

What is your experience? We'd love to hear!

Zmail of China partners with Momail

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:16:00 +0000

Momail recently announced its cooperation with Zmail, China's largest provider of email solutions for SME's. This is a great start for our Asian operations, and further proof of the ease of working with Momail for extending current email platforms into the mobile space.

Microsoft OneApp - a nice start, but...

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:18:00 +0000

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the development of OneApp which is targeted to the emerging markets, and is thus very light to download, eases access social networks, and should work on basic handsets. That all sounds great. However, upon researching further, the supported handset list is quite limited - and functions primarily on higher-end handset such as the Nokia N- and E-series. So is it really a service for emerging markets?

Comparing Momail and OneApp, Momail proves again to be the better option for those wishing for an easy and light product to "smarten-up" the largest number of handsets - both "basic" and "smart".

As Momail leverages the native handset platform, it requires no memory to set-up, all emails are saved in the cloud, and Momail optimizes data in order to minimize the data used. In addition, Momail already enables users to access services such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and more.

We therefore clearly think Momail is the better option for the emerging markets.

Facebook lite - simpler, faster

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:56:00 +0000

... sounds familiar to Momail users!

Facebook recently rolled out a new version of its service, called "Facebook lite", which is designed to be easier to use, and provide faster download times.

Momail has already been following this policy since our launch - ie, simple, fast with a strong focus on customer usability. While Facebook lite is targeted to developing countries, Momail's email service is available to all users - on most handsets, with any email account.

Momail and Twitter - a brilliant combination

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:40:00 +0000

For many reasons, Twitter has become the hot topic for 2009. The service has proven to be massively popular and useful for everthing from communicating about the latest world events (eg, Iran election) to daily dribble (eg, "out to get a coffee"). One of the challenges, however, is updating from your mobile economically. Twitter offers and SMS service in some countries - but unfortunately, it is often expensive.

Momail helps make mobile updates to Twitter both easy and inexpensive. All you need to do is set up Twitter in your Momail account, or create a special "send-to" email address with a service such as Twittermail.

User feedback thus far has been great - highlighted by this Tweet "Twittern mit dem Handy für weniger als 1cent pro Nachricht. Momail und Twittermail machen es möglich!" (Translation: Twitter with the mobile for less than 1 cent a message. Momail and Twittermail make it possible!")

Momail reduced data 88% during first half of 2009

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:58:00 +0000

As followers of Momail know well, Momail saves money for its users by reducing the amount data used thanks to its patented optimizition technology. During the first half of 2009 (Jan-June), the amount of data received by our users mobile handsets averaged only 12% of original size of the mails received. By minimizing the amount of data used, Momail users both save money, and experience faster download and retrieval of mail on their handsets.

Since Momail's patented technology is based within our server, there are no restrictions due to handset model or operating system for whom can take advantage of its benefits. Currently, Momail works on over 1400 different handset models in the market today, from the advanced smartphones like the iPhone to basic consumer handsets.

Momail: 2009 Mobile Messaging Awards Nominee

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:01:00 +0000

Push Alternative to Mobile Me

honour.pearson@momail.com (Honour) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 08:23:00 +0000

Momail: Push-Maildienst.

Einen kostenlosen, interessanten Push-Maildienst bietet das in Schweden ansässige Unternehmen. In wenigen Minuten ist ein Mail-Account bei dem Provider eingerichtet. Die Auswahl von Handyhersteller und Modell klappt einfach und reibungslos. Der Kunde bekommt eine Mailadresse beim Anbieter und kann dann von seinem iPhone aus die Konten aller Mail-Accounts, die er sonst noch hat, abfragen.

Alle Mails landen in einem Posteingang auf dem iPhone. Momail "weiß", an welchen Account eine Mail gegangen ist, falls Sie eine Antwort schreiben, wird der richtige Account automatisch als Absender genutzt. Momail ist nicht unbedingt die Lösung für Geschäftskunden, aber ein klasse Ansatz, wenn man seine privaten Mail-Accounts unterwegs alle im Griff haben und eingehende Mails automatisch bekommen will.
