Email "on any handset at all" will start first in emerging markets, says Carsten Brinkschulte, Synchronica's CEO - announcing its latest product at Mobile World Congress this week.

The latest version of Mobile Gateway (v 3.5) will be demonstrated in Hall 2.0, Stand 2J25. Synchronica will also announce its first Indian operator shortly, and claims another 15 emerging market networks are trialling it.

"It now works with more than three billion phones in use around the world," said the company's official announcement. "For emerging markets such as the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East and Africa (MEA), mobile operators can now offer mobile email to all of their prosumer / consumer subscribers, regardless of which handset they use."
