MailProntoTouted as the “Apple’s MobileMe more affordable alternative,” MailPronto offers hosted exchange, hosted e-mail and managed e-mail services for the iPhone users. Their idea is to compete with MobileMe by making the product cost less — that’s both in case you need an individual account or you’re purchasing the service for the entire company.

MailPronto is $8.95 a month per e-mailbox, and it’s based on the tried-and-tested Microsoft Hosted Exchange platform. Like MobileMe, MailPronto provides real-time e-mail exchange, so e-mailing happens seamlessly and instantaneously. MailPronto also manages all e-mail-related services, plus it stores calendar and contact information through its online server. Real people — as opposed to recorded messages or automated customer service — assist MailPronto customers with their needs. This gives MailPronto yet another competitive edge in its industry, making it a leader in exceptional, efficient and cost-effective dedicated service.

MailPronto’s additional customer benefits include Free Outlook 2007 Software, Free Virus and Spam Filtering, Free ActiveSync for Treo/PocketPC, Free Outlook Mobile Access, and 2GB of Mailbox Space. Plus, MailPronto’s Hosted Exchange service is fully compatible with Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 and Entourage. In addition to iPhone, the service works with BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices… More information is available on the official website.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
