Idokorro Releases Mobile Desktop and Mobile FTP for BlackBerry to Offer
Customers Complete Mobile Access Solutions
Ottawa, ON, March 17, 2006 - Idokorro Mobile, Inc., a leading solutions provider
for mobile network management, today announced the release of Mobile Desktop
version 1.0, a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) client for BlackBerry wireless
handhelds from Research In Motion (RIM ) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM). With Mobile
Desktop for BlackBerry, users can create connections to almost any computer from
a BlackBerry device, then view the screen and even control the keyboard or mouse
of the remote computer. Mobile Desktop can be used to connect to practically any
kind of computer including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Novell Netware,
QNX, OS/2 and many more.
Mobile Desktop lets users troubleshoot issues on remote computers, access files
back at the office, provide remote support, or access any application that is
traditionally used on a desktop computer, all from their BlackBerry devices.
Today Idokorro also announced the launch of Mobile FTP, an application for
BlackBerry wireless handhelds that allows users to access and manage files and
folders on remote file servers. For example, web developers can use Mobile FTP
to connect to remote web servers and edit web pages or deploy sites from their
BlackBerry device. The ability to manage files easily and quickly from a
BlackBerry device extends the value of a company's technical resources and
increases service responsiveness while reducing costs.
"Mobile Desktop is an entirely new breed of mobile application, allowing anyone
with a BlackBerry device to access any computer or application from anywhere,"
says Paul Dumais, CTO of Idokorro Mobile. "Mobile FTP's intuitive interface
makes it easy to edit and manage files from almost anywhere. The initial
reaction from our partners and customers has been extremely positive. Mobile
Desktop and Mobile FTP clearly enhance our already very popular suite of proven
applications for mobile network management."
"BlackBerry is the leading wireless platform for organizations extending their
corporate data applications to mobile employees," said Jeff McDowell, Director,
Alliances at Research In Motion. "We are excited to work with Idokorro to help
bring these enhanced remote desktop capabilities to the BlackBerry platform."
Johnson Smith Company uses Blackberry 7520? devices with BlackBerry Enterprise
Server and Idokorro Mobile Admin, Mobile SSH and now Mobile Desktop to support
its wireless environment. "The tools are unmatched and have enhanced our
productivity and response time supporting critical business operations. Now with
the addition of Mobile Desktop we are able to connect with, manage and support
our entire IT infrastructure," said Frank Roe, Director of Information
Technology, Johnson Smith Company. "I was able to download, install and begin
using Mobile Desktop in minutes. The very same evening it saved me a trip back
to the office during a family outing."
