Web collaboration solution provider WebEx has launched a new iPhone-compatible version of WebEx PCNow, an on-demand remote access service for desktops and wireless devices.
PCNow gives iPhone users the ability to access their desktop PC files, as well as Microsoft's Outlook corporate e-mail, contacts and appointments from their wireless devices. iPhone users can register for a free 30-day trial on WebEx's Website.
"This latest version of WebEx PCNow gives iPhone users the ability to wirelessly access their desktop PC from anywhere, at any time," Jack Chawla, senior director of product management at WebEx, said in a statement. "We're delighted to be able to utilize the innovations in iPhone to enable seamless access to desktop files, e-mail and tools 24/7."
WebEx, through a partnership with mobile technology provider SoonR, optimizes PC content for viewing on mobile devices. There is no software to download; users simply navigate iPhone's Safari Web browser to access their desktop.
With the current economic climate, wireless operators face shrinking marketing budgets and reduced consumer spending.
Globally, the credit crunch is very much alive, and operators will be tightening their belts into the foreseeable future by putting off capital purchases.
