Zimbra—which makes open source, next-generation messaging and collaboration software—has released Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 2.0.
It provides over-the-air (OTA) two-way synchronization of e-mails, multiple calendars and contacts between user mailboxes and mobile devices, and enables “push” e-mail service for all versions of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Network Edition Standard or Professional, including the most current version, ZCS 5.0. Additionally, Zimbra Mobile for iPhone enables OTA photo-sync, so photos associated with iPhone contacts will sync with the Zimbra address book as well.
Support for iPhones running 2.0 software is part of a wide range of smartphones Zimbra Mobile already supports, including Microsoft Window Mobile devices (PocketPCs and Smartphones), Palm Treo series, Nokia E series, BlackBerry and other devises running third party clients. The ZCS 5.0 Open Source Edition is free. The commercially supported ZCS 5.0 Network Edition is available for a 60-day free trial on the Zimbra web site. Zimbra’s Hosted Demo is available for an immediate test drive of ZCS.
