Avvenu and Palm Give Business Professionals Remote Access to Work and Home PC Content
Avvenu ?Access ?n Share? Service for Palm Foleo Mobile Companion Enables Unmatched Mobility
PALO ALTO, Calif. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 26, 2007 ? Avvenu, provider of remote access and sharing services for personal digital content, and Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) have created the Avvenu Access ?n Share service for the Palm? Foleo(TM) mobile companion. Access ?n Share enables Foleo users to remotely and easily access and share digital content stored on their work or home PCs, untethered and over-the-air, including documents, photos, music and videos.(1)
With the press of one button, the Palm Foleo mobile companion?s large screen displays wireless email, web pages, or office documents, making Avvenu?s remote access and share capabilities a natural fit. A smartphone is great for finding quick bits of information or sending a brief response to an email, but there are times when a full-size keyboard and a big screen is preferred to view attachments, type longer emails, or to get a bigger-screen look at web pages and photos. Plus, Internet access is available anywhere there is cell phone coverage, or when the Foleo is within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.(1) With Foleo?s instant on/off capability, light weight and small size, and 5-hour battery life, Palm expects the mobile companion to establish a new category of personal-computing products; and with Avvenu?s Access ?n Share service, Foleo mobile companion users now have immediate access to their digital lives right at their fingertips.
Previously available for Palm Treo smartphones and PC/Mac web browsers, this new version of Access ?n Share was developed to take full advantage of Foleo?s large screen size and wireless capabilities. Foleo users can securely browse PC files and folders, preview photos, download and upload documents, and share files with others. Access ?n Share also provides an optional personal digital locker that allows users to securely store and synchronize files from their PCs to an Avvenu server, providing remote access even when their PCs are turned off or not connected to the Internet.
?Palm Foleo is a great way to display and edit documents and information available on a Palm Treo smartphone,? said Richard French, chief executive officer for Avvenu. ?Avvenu Access ?n Share completes the proposition by allowing Foleo users to remotely access and share files stored on their work or home personal computers, whenever they are connected to the Internet.?
By building the Foleo on an open Linux-based platform and publishing the tools developers might need, Palm hopes to establish a vibrant developer community to create new applications that extend the mobile companion?s built-in capabilities. Avvenu Access ?n Share demonstrates the ease with which exciting technology and applications can be ported to the Palm Foleo mobile companion.
?The combination of a Foleo, Treo and Avvenu Access ?n Share gives mobile professionals a direct route to access business-critical information without the worry of carrying everything with them,? said Mark Bercow, senior vice president of business development for Palm, Inc. ?And the Foleo?s large screen and full-size keyboard is optimal for viewing and editing downloaded PowerPoint or Word documents.?
