Corsoft Corp. announces the launch of Aileron 5.0, its wireless email solution for Palm OS® handheld devices. The new version of Aileron provides a more user-friendly interface, adds support for sending & receiving Adobe PDFs and various other attachments, and allows users to check multiple email accounts – both business and personal (including AOL, MSN, Hotmail and Yahoo). Aileron 5.0 also offers “push notification” to users of Handspring Treo devices, providing users with “always on” email service that notifies them when incoming email messages have been received.
Aileron 5.0 is a business and personal wireless email solution rolled into one easy-to-use application. It has been designed for mobile professionals who want to manage both their business and personal communications from the same application. To speed up and simplify the preview of incoming email, Corsoft has added a new Preview bar similar to desktop email applications. The interface has also been redesigned to allow users to send and receive email, with attachments, from a single screen.
Users of Handspring Treo devices can enjoy “always-on” email and be notified as new email arrives. Aileron provides push-enabled data notification for new messages using Short Messaging Service (SMS). In a future release, Corsoft will expand “push notification” to users of Palm Tungsten C and other WiFi-equipped devices.
In some instances, it is more appropriate to respond to an email with a phone call rather than a written reply. For converged devices, Aileron offers tight integration with the handheld’s Address Book application and telephony capabilities, giving users the choice of either replying to email messages via phone call or email.
I haven't had a chance to try this yet so if you do, please reply with feedback about how well it works. You can read the full press release or download a trial copy at
