Cingular wireless IM, email

Cingular Wireless is bringing <A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-5910602.html?tag=zdnn.alert">mobile email to the masses.</A> The company announced that it will offer email and instant messaging from America Online, Yahoo, and MSN on cell phones. Using a downloadable email client powered by OZ Communications that converts the email into a format that can be seen on the small screen, Cingular subscribers can access their personal email from their phones. Unlike other email services targeted at business customers that require expensive devices, such as Research In Motion's BlackBerry or Palm's Treo, Cingular customers will be able to use less expensive cell phones from Cingular's current line-up.
