General Wireless announces
first commercial launch of multimedia PC plug-ins
for Microsoft Vista and Outlook 2007
Stockholm, Sweden, November 6, 2007
– General Wireless, the
global market
leader in PC-to-mobile messaging, today announced
that a leading mobile operator has upgraded its
PC-to-mobile messaging system to handle both text (SMS)
and multimedia (MMS) messaging in Microsoft®Vista
and Microsoft®Outlook®2007.
The operator, part of a major multinational telecoms
group, launched its PC-to-mobile service in 2004.
The service, targeted at enterprises, SMEs and
consumers has since then attracted a large number of
customers. The new offering makes it easy for any
subscriber with an Internet connection to send text,
pictures, sound and video from a PC to mobile
phones. The software can be downloaded from the
operator website at no cost – users are only charged
for sending SMS and MMS messages.
The PC plug-in comes in two versions:
Outlook version: SMS and MMS functionality
integrated in Microsoft Outlook. It has been adapted
to work with the new security policies in
Microsoft®Vista® and it supports all Outlook
versions from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007.
Desktop version: SMS and MMS functionality
integrated in the Windows Desktop environment.
Features include an Internet Explorer Toolbar for
SMS, integration in Outlook Express/Windows Mail and
right-click on pictures in Internet Explorer and
Windows Explorer.
”We see strong growth in the market for PC-to-mobile
messaging, and we expect it to grow even faster with
the addition of support for multimedia and Microsoft
Vista and Outlook 2007. We believe that many more
people will be using PC-to-mobile messaging in the
future,” said Anders Hardebring, CEO at General
Wireless.
General Wireless has developed the concept of
PC-to-mobile messaging, a service that can work from
all PCs to all mobiles. Its eSMS technology has been
selected by a large number of leading mobile
operators including Vodafone UK, Telefónica Móviles
España, Orange, Telecom Italia Mobile, KPN,
Teliasonera and 3.
