MobileMe Alternative: Yahoo! Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 3G

Yahoo!’s Zimbra Mobile provides over-the-air (OTA) two-way synchronization of e-mails, multiple calendars and contacts between user mailboxes and mobile devices, and enables seamless “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.

The newest version of Zimbra Mobile for iPhone for Zimbra Collaboration Suite 5.0.9 adds support for synchronizing multiple calendars and address books, and also takes advantage of the latest Zimbra Server and iPhone software enhancements to further optimize push email performance.

Zimbra Mobile for iPhone 2.0 software allows iPhone users to maximize their business functions on the iPhone, complementing Apple’s recently added support for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG and iWork. 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.
