Helio Launches Exchange Sync and File Viewer for Ocean

Ocean with Mail for Microsoft Exchange

Owners of the Helio Ocean now have two more reasons to love their handset, with the release of Mail for Microsoft Exchange and Helio File Viewer for the device. Mail for Microsoft Exchange on the Ocean brings full synchronization of email, contacts, and calendar entries with a server running Exchange 2003 SP2 or above to the device, and in conjunction with File Viewer will allow great handling of attachments as well.

For the next 60 days during its beta period, Mail for Microsoft Exchange will be available free to Ocean owners. After the beta period, a US$9.99 per month subscription will be required to use the service for 'All-In' members. A new Exchange item should appear in subscriber's handsets soon that will initiate the download of the Mail for Microsoft Exchange client.

Helio File Viewer, launched in conjunction with Mail for Microsoft Exchange, is available free to all Ocean owners, regardless of a subscription to the Exchange service. The Helio File Viewer is compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, as well as Adobe's PDF format.
