A new, free service from EasyReach Corporation provides a first-of-its-kind combination of mobile commerce, mobile desktop search and mobile remote access that allows users to instantly accomplish everyday tasks with their cell phones, smartphones and wireless handheld PDAs. Common tasks such as buying gifts, adding a movie to your Netflix list or accessing files on remote desktop PCs can be completed in seconds using only a mobile phone. Available today for BlackBerry, the service complements popular applications and services such as Google Desktop Search, eFax, Amazon.com, Netflix, WebEx, GoToMeeting, and others.
“The cell phone is at the center of your life, whether you’re a mobile professional or a soccer mom,” said John Stossel, EasyReach CEO. “With EasyReach, the mobile device you carry can simplify your life by enabling you to get things done before they hit your to-do list.”
Tools for Everyone, On Every Mobile Phone and Wireless PDA
“The mobile smartphone market has been slowed by the inability of potential buyers to see much value beyond simple e-mail,” said Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group. “EasyReach may be the missing link to provide that extra value that makes a smartphone broadly useful turning it into a true assistant. By being able to complete tasks with the phone immediately, rather than waiting to get back to a PC, this clearly expands the utility for the smartphone and should speed its adoption.”
Integrated Mobile Commerce
EasyReach Express Shopping gives users the ability to buy and ship items quickly with their mobile phone. To make gift giving easier, Express Shopping is integrated with the mobile device’s address book. Users can simply click on a contact record, select a gift and send it without entering any address information. EasyReach comes with a catalog of thousands of popular items including flowers, chocolates, wine, electronic gadgets, books, CDs, DVDs and other popular gift items. EasyReach Concierge enables the mobile purchase and delivery of virtually anything from any vendor.
