Push email on mobile devices, once the exclusive domain of BlackBerry-maker RIM, is really starting to catch on. And, with push email services gaining more and more traction among the smartphone masses, it makes sense for carriers to roll-out their own push-email services – for fear of their inevitable decline to serve as a “dumb-pipe.”
Verizon Wireless has announced their RemoSync application to bring Microsoft Exchange server support – and the push email goodness that comes with it – to the carrier’s compatible handsets. Read, compose, reply, forward emails; dole out meeting invites; and synchronize Outlook contacts and calendar events to your handset.
RemoSync costs $10 for every month that you have email pushed to your handset. of course, data charges apply, so you’ll want an unlimited data plan if you know what’s good for you. If you don’t, Verizon will be happy to charge you $2 for every megabyte that you download.
