provider of mobile email, today announced the availability of Visto

    "The iPhone has been a game-changing mobile device with unprecedented
sales and consumer excitement," said Doug Brackbill, Executive Vice
President and CMO of Visto. "We are pleased to provide iPhone users with
secure access to corporate email in addition to the many lifestyle
applications that are already available with this device. With Visto
Mobile, the iPhone becomes the single resource for an individual's personal
and professional needs."
    Visto is also announcing a new capability for the iPhone -- directory
lookup for the corporate directory. Using the iPhone's Safari web browser,
this feature enables individuals to search for any contact and either place
a call, send an email or get driving directions by selecting the contact's
phone number, email address or physical address.
    "Visto Mobile provides Samson with an easy-to-use corporate email
service that didn't require any changes to our existing email
infrastructure," said Johnny Callison, Server and Storage Supervisor for
Samson Investment. "The Visto service took minutes to setup and the
instructions were very easy to follow. Without Visto Mobile, we would not
be able to give our iPhone users the critical email functionality that they
need to perform their jobs."
    Visto Mobile takes advantage of the iPhone user interface as well as
its existing email and phone features to deliver an easy-to-use, consistent
experience that is optimized for the iPhone. Users will be able to send and
receive attachments, receive rich HTML email and view emails as they were
originally sent.
    Visto Mobile for iPhone is available for both individuals and
enterprises free for 60 days. After 60 days, pricing will begin at $10 per
device per month. Consumers can obtain more information and register to use
the service at http://www.vistomobile.com/iphone.
