Jeyo, Inc. announces Mobile Extender


Jeyo, Inc. Brings SMS Text Messaging to Microsoft Outlook; Send, Receive and Organize SMSs with Jeyo Mobile Extender and Your Microsoft Smartphone or PocketPC Phone Edition Device

PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2004--Jeyo, Inc. (www.jeyo.com) today announced the launch of its Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook and Jeyo Mobile Companion packages; best-of-breed software utilities for managing the full range of business and personal SMS text messaging needs from Windows. Jeyo's Mobile Extender for Outlook enables users of Windows Smartphone and PocketPC Phone Edition devices to send, receive and organize SMS messages through Outlook just as easily as they manage e-mail today, extending all the robust power of Microsoft's flagship e-mail program to the realm of SMS text messaging. For those without Outlook, or those who prefer to manage their SMSs from a standalone application, the Jeyo Mobile Companion provides an independent Outlook-style SMS manager.

SMS messaging and SMS-based services are experiencing explosive growth all around the world. Their convenience and universality, beating even that of internet-based instant messaging, are propelling their growth as integral components of modern communication. From real estate Brokers' offices in the U.S. using SMS to handle instant updates from the field, to Doctor's offices in Australia using it to remind patients of appointments, to Schools in England using it to keep parents updated, people are using SMS to communicate about almost everything. Until now, however, SMSs have been notoriously difficult to keep track of and manage. With Mobile Extender, people can use the familiar Outlook interface to manage their SMS data, and their email message center becomes their SMS message center as well.

"The exchange of information via SMS is now ubiquitous; the UK alone will generate 25 billion SMS messages this year - and US traffic is exploding" says Jeyo President Josh Carroll. "We saw a gaping hole that needed to be filled: the lack of a robust tool to manage SMS messages in the same way that e-mail is managed today - the Mobile Companion and the Extender for Outlook fill that niche."


With Mobile Extender, users can:

-- Send, receive, search, and manage SMS messages from a Windows PC, including bulk messaging

-- Forward SMS messages to e-mail users

-- Forward e-mail messages to mobile phone users

-- View and compose SMS messages in offline mode

-- Fully integrate with Outlook address book

-- Backup SMS messages automatically in an Outlook personal folder file

-- Author and receive SMS messages in any Windows-supported language

Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook and Jeyo Mobile Companion work with Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003 or 2002 or Windows Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 or 2002. System requirements are PC operating systems Windows XP 2000 or 98ME/98.

Mobile Extender is Jeyo's fourth product release since the company's launch in 2002 of its signature Companionware: software that combines and compounds the power of mobile devices (phone or PDA) and PCs to make them more functional, and more fun. Jeyo's first introductions were Jeyo Remote, a next-generation PC remote control for Bluetooth-enabled Sony Ericsson phones and Jeyo Personalizer, an application for customizing mobile phones with home screen themes, ring tones, sounds and wallpaper.

The Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook and the Jeyo Mobile Companion are currently available for $14.95 via www.jeyo.com, www.handango.com, www.pocketgear.com and www.smartphone.net. Both products are available for a 15-day free trial. Users also receive lifetime email support and one year of free upgrades with purchase.
