Palm Treo Smartphones Increase Monster Mobility
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2006--
Sprint PCS Vision Smart Device Treo 650 Coupled With GoodLink Offers
Simple, Turnkey Solution for Accessing Email On the Go
Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today announced that Palm(R) Treo(TM)
smartphones are keeping Monster employees connected nationwide. The
leading global online careers and recruitment resource has deployed
several hundred Treo smartphones running GoodLink from Good Technology
for access to email, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks on the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network.(1) The Treo smartphone offers many advantages:
it easily integrates with Microsoft Outlook, has a short end-user
learning curve, is based on an open standards platform, and gives
companies great scalability for the future and a high return on
investment.
"Unlike laptops, the Treo smartphone can easily connect to
important information on the go and improves communication with our
valuable existing and potential customers," said Paul Nielson, senior
vice president of technology services for Monster. "Moments that would
otherwise be considered downtime are now used to check calendar
updates, email and voicemail."
With the Treo smartphone, users are more readily available to
clients, and are immediately notified when meetings are added or
changed on their calendars. When the Treo smartphone is coupled with
accessories such as a Bluetooth(R) headset, downtime on the go turns
into productive time, putting users in contact with teams and
customers the world over.
"The millions of Treo smartphones in the market today represent a
large U.S. market share," said Tara Griffin, vice president of
enterprise markets for Palm, Inc. "Monster is one of more than 8,000
companies using Treo smartphones running GoodLink for a true,
no-compromise mobile office experience."
More leading companies such as Monster are taking advantage of
Palm's expanding product portfolio and business solutions to better
serve mobile professionals. Palm's flexible, standards-based approach
and customer-centric model represent its commitment to serving the
growing mobile needs of small, large and global businesses.
