Consilient offers yet another push email alternative
As if the ongoing battle between emoze and RIM wasn’t pointless aggravating enough, there’s another player entering the ring. Consilient, a company with offices in the US, Canada, and Southeast Asia, claims that their Java app-based service will allows users to have email pushed immediately to a their phones, with support for GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and any other POP/IMAP account. The free version of the service offers ad-supported push for up to 5 separate accounts, while the $15 per month premium service removes the aforementioned advertisements. Both versions offer support for .txt, .jpg, and .doc attachment viewing. The list of supported phones is, well, odd, as there are several Windows Mobile 5 devices, including the Q and, get this, support for BlackBerry’s as well, in addition to many "regular" mobile phones. Why anyone would want to use this service over the proprietary BlackBerry push service is beyond me but then again, the world works in mysterious ways. If anyone feels like giving this one a shot, report back with your experiences.
