Within the next few months emoze will cover the vast majority of remaining mobile devices and will keep maintaining and adapting the service for all newly emerging mobile devices over time.As a REAL ‘push’ email service, emoze will automatically push your emails and PIM data to your phone as soon as it is sent to you without you having to pro-actively connect to a service every time you want to send or receive. For the past few years, this type of service has been available mainly in a very costly package and mostly restricted to a specific hardware and software platforms such as the Blackberry and thus limiting mass market adoption. emoze removes such barriers with a totally free, simple, flexible, and secure service, creating significant savings for corporate users and consumers alike.

“We caught our first glimpse of the Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC back in March at the CeBIT trade show in Hanover, Germany. Since then, news has been pouring in fast and furious regarding the Origami Project device. Other manufacturers are making UMPCs as well, but the Samsung device is garnering the most media attention (for whatever reason). Today is no different.Word is that Samsung is planning a May 1 launch for its Q1 UMPC in the American market, to be kicked off by an event in San Francisco. While we originally hoped that the tablet PC-esque gadget based on the Microsoft Origami concept would be priced in the $500 range, but if recent reports are any indication, it may be some time before you can get your hands on the Samsung UMPC for that price. In Korea, the Q1 will be retailing for $2000 with bundled accessories.Look for an official announcement from Samsung regarding an American price point in the coming days.” via mobilemag.com
