The poor man's crackberry...Yahoo and Sprint launch push email from Seven
The hard working John Kuch over at telco apps company Seven pings us to say that Yahoo and Sprint will be branding Seven's push mobile email solution. . . the first blackberry-like service for consumers.
John claims that...
* Yahoo! Mail for Mobile, powered by SEVEN, is the first push (blackberry-like) mobile email service for consumers.
* With Yahoo! and Microsoft getting into push email this week, mobile email is not just for top execs anymore. Blackberry is no longer the only game in town.
* Consumers can now access their email using a variety of smartphones and everyday cell phones.
* Simple start-up. Consumers can sign up from their mobile phones and get up and running by entering their existing Yahoo! username, password into their phone.
* Cost of the service is $2.99 a month, Blackberry costs $30-$50 a month.
* Do Google, AOL or Earthlink have a push mobile email service?
