Celio Corporation Partners With Enterprise Mobile To Launch REDFLY Mobile Companion To The Enterprise Market
Celio Corp., an innovator of seamless and efficient mobile solutions for the smartphone market, recently announced a partnership with Enterprise Mobile, the full-service company focused on developing, delivering and managing enterprise solutions based on the Windows Mobile platform, to launch Celio's award-winning REDFLY Mobile Companion.
The REDFLY Mobile Companion is a ground-breaking new device that extends the smartphone platform to an 8" high resolution display, full function keyboard, and touchpad mouse. Measuring just 1x6x9 inches and weighing only two pounds, the REDFLY offers over eight hours of battery life with instant-on access and the ability to charge smartphones via USB.
The REDFLY and a smartphone create a single mobile platform for easy access to email, attachments, web and business applications. For the enterprise market, REDFLY ushers in a new market of Mobile Companion products that offer valuable new user functionality, without adding additional management, backup, and security to the existing smartphone solution.
Effective immediately, Enterprise Mobile will provide support for Celio's aggressive launch of REDFLY into the enterprise marketplace. Under the agreement, Enterprise Mobile will provide sales, marketing, deployment, and customer support for enterprise customers of REDFLY.
The REDFLY Mobile Companion is compatible with selected Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC and Smartphone editions and Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Editions. A list of tested smartphones is available at www.celiocorp.com/smartphone. The REDFLY Software will be available for other operating systems in the future. The REDFLY Mobile Companion from Celio Corp. will be available in late April 2008 for $499 MSRP.
"Enterprise Mobile's expertise with the Windows Mobile platform and their vast integration experience is a great value to Celio, particularly into the enterprise market," said Kirt Bailey, president and CEO of Celio Corp. "We feel we are perfectly aligned with Enterprise Mobile as the company supports our creation of an entirely new level of mobile computing solution. Enterprise Mobile is an ideal partner for us."
"REDFLY provides enterprises with an innovative mobile computing solution that goes beyond traditional smartphone capabilities," said Mort Rosenthal, Enterprise Mobile chairman and CEO. "A primary driver for the adoption of mobility in the enterprise is access to line of business applications that enable employees to perform business functions on mobile devices just as they would in an office environment. Enterprise Mobile looks forward to providing support for REDFLY as Celio launches this important new Windows Mobile-based product for the enterprise mobility market."
Following the REDFLY Mobile Companion's first appearance as the CES Innovations Honoree for Enabling Technology, the product will formally launch at the CTIA trade show at Booth 4953.
