There are just under 2M users of mobile email solutions (The Radicati Group). The wireless messaging space will grow from its 2003 size of approximately $228M to $812M in 2007 (The Radicati Group)
- DEMO Says
- Good Technology might not have the instant brand recognition of Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, but the company is making tremendous inroads into the enterprise mobile email market. With support for Palm OS already in place and the new SmartPhone client the company is launching this week, Good Technology’s application approach positions the company well to take enter-prise customers as the mobile messaging market biforcates between consumer and enterprise customers.
