SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-Mobility Electronics Inc. and Snapperfish Ltd. have teamed up to offer Quickoffice/SnapperMail, which lets users of handheld computers running on the Palm operating system receive, view and edit e-mail attachments in a personal computer format.
“Traditionally, in order to receive and view complex office (PC) attachments on wireless handheld devices, the industry has relied on expensive, unwieldy and temperamental conversion servers to transform the files into something simple the handheld can read,” said Will Lau, director of product design and business development for Snapperfish.
“Our partnership with (Mobility Electronics) Cutting Edge Software (subsidiary) has allowed our shared vision to become a reality, moving 180 degrees away from the problematic middleware translation server approach and toward an elegant, client-based solution.”
