Emblaze Ltd05 April 2006 Emblaze unleashes emoze, the world's first free Push-Email service for ANY device In direct competition with Blackberry, Microsoft, Intellisync and others,Emblaze's emoze technology now makes email, diary and contact data available to anyone, anywhere, with a major difference - it's FREE and supports the widest range of existing devices April 5, 2006 - Emblaze Ltd. today launches emoze, the world's first free andsecure "push" email and PIM service. With emoze Personal Edition, anyone with acompatible mobile phone can receive work or home emails and Personal InformationManager (PIM) data such as contacts and diary scheduling on their mobile phoneor PDA on the move, anywhere in the world. The technology itself is built tosupport any mobile device. Current release works with all Microsoft PocketPC orSymbian devices such as Nokia 6630 and Nokia 6680. Within the next few monthsemoze will cover the vast majority of remaining mobile devices and will keepmaintaining and adapting the service for all newly emerging mobile devices overtime. As a REAL 'push' email service, emoze will automatically push your emails andPIM data to your phone as soon as it is sent to you without you having topro-actively connect to a service every time you want to send or receive. Forthe past few years, this type of service has been available mainly in a verycostly package and mostly restricted to a specific hardware and softwareplatforms such as the Blackberry and thus limiting mass market adoption. emozeremoves such barriers with a totally free, simple, flexible, and secure service,creating significant savings for corporate users and consumers alike. Email on the go has become the battleground for major vendors around the world.With the success of Research in Motion, the Blackberry has changed the waycorporate users communicate on a day to day basis but it is still the privilegeof "elitist few". Emblaze believes that mobile push email and PIM data shouldbecome a commodity service - a given - just like a voice call. Anyone fromcorporate users to individuals should have access to this basic service as partof their day to day communications. This is the background and reason for thedevelopment and introduction of emoze (www.emoze.com )to the world, a free Push Email and PIM service to anyone, anywhere and on anydevice. The emoze push messaging service is a result of proprietary, in-housedevelopment by the Emblaze Group's top engineers, who have achieved dramaticallyenhanced performance on both message delivery/sync and push management. Unlikeother solutions in the market place, emoze has created a real push-eventtechnology, in which synchronization occurs only on incoming and outgoingevents, rather than via periodical connections to the email server and checksfor change. This part of the technology not only saves the userconnectivity-related costs but also dramatically reduces device power usage. To use emoze all you need to have is an email account and a compatible device;the interface will be familiar to anyone who's used a traditional email program.The emoze software can be downloaded free from www.emoze.com and set up quickly and simply. Emblaze is committed to cover all devices and known email services on bothcorporate as well as consumer levels. emoze currently works with any MicrosoftMobile or Symbian device with a GPRS or other data connection, with MicrosoftOutlook and POP3 online email services such as Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail. Withinmonths, emoze will be available for Corporate Microsoft Exchange and Lotus NotesDomino servers without the need of PC based on-line software. emoze currently supports all major brands including Nokia, Samsung, Motorola andothers. Over the time, Emblaze will continue to adapt emoze to cover the ever-growing range of devices and models. Over the next few months support will be expanded to include Palm devices and MacOS & Linux platforms. The service is available on any wireless GSM, CDMA or Wi-Fi network including2.5G and 3G such as WCDMA/UMTS, CDMA2000, 802.xx, Wi-Max, GPRS (2.5G), EDGE,CDMA 1xRTT, CDMA 1xEVDO and many others. emoze technology is particularly focused around personal and corporate privacy,providing one of the best security solutions available for mobile email. emozedoes not gather or send information from users' PCs or in-boxes. There are no"cookies", no "spyware" and no duplication of user data on emoze servers. Forcorporate users, emoze does not require the opening of new ports, thuspreventing hacking vulnerability. All emoze transmissions and messaging isencrypted with the highest possible industry standards. Eli Reifman, Emblaze Group Chief Executive said: "We strongly believe thatmobile email communication should become a commodity and not a niche applicationthat costs a fortune for the lucky few that have the resources. Less than 5% ofglobal mobile users have an access to Mobile Email today. With emoze we arecommitted to make it accessible for the remainder 95% of humanity.
