This telebriefing examines the current market for mobile email, as well as the emerging business case for the mobilization of 'beyond email' applications, both in Europe and the U.S.

Push e-mail is touted as the most significant mobile application growth opportunity in the market today, with an addressable market of approximately 650 million corporate e-mail accounts (Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise), of which around 8 million, or just 1.2%, are currently mobilized. Innovation is rife, and a spate of new business models are starting to challenge earlier price preconceptions regarding Mobile Email's TCO.

In this telebriefing, Kathryn Weldon, Principal Analyst - Enterprise Mobility U.S. and Emma Mohr-McClune, Senior Analyst - Enterprise Mobility Europe examine the following trends and issues:

• Who are the Mobile Email market leaders, and how are they evolving their products?
• What are the top-of-mind security, cost and manageability concerns, and how are they being addressed?
• Is Mobile Email the best way to mobilize a workforce?
• What other applications are being deployed today, and what’s planned for the future?
• What are the market’s key drivers and obstacles?

Weldon and Mohr-McClune discuss mobile Email and future mobile business services, and what they mean for service providers, middleware vendors, and enterprises. They discuss the key opportunities for members of the enterprise mobility eco-system.
