SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 11, 2007 -- MACWORLD -- Apple Inc.'s new iPhone has
rocked smart phone stocks and wowed tech pundits, but leading up to its
availability in June it's also poised to provide a huge boost to Mac
business software companies, according to Alykhan Jetha, President of
Toronto-based Marketcircle Inc. Marketcircle produces the award-winning
Daylite 3 Productivity Suite and Billings 2 expense and invoicing
application showing at Macworld this week at booth S537.
"Our engineers have scoped the iPhone, and combined with Apple's Sync
Services, we are confident we can bring shared contacts and meetings and
individuals tasks and appointments from Daylite to the iPhone," says Jetha.
"Given that Apple is likely to sell millions of these must-have devices to
Mac-based business and creative professionals, and with the productivity
gains Daylite offers, we're looking forward to significant growth in the
Mac small business software market. We are working hard to make sure our
customers can take advantage of the iPhone."
Designed for the unique needs of Mac-based businesses of 1-50 people,
Daylite 3 is the latest version of Marketcircle's award-winning
productivity management software offering groupware and collaborative
features such as meetings, shared calendars, shared contacts, shared
projects, email integration and more. Daylite 3 Productivity Suite is
priced at US $189 per seat.
Apple's iPhone combines three products -- a revolutionary mobile phone,
a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet
communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and
searching -- into one small and lightweight handheld device.
Apple's Sync Services provides a powerful and extensible mechanism that
enables data to move seamlessly between multiple Macs, devices such as
smart phones and PDAs, and network services. Included in Mac OS X v10.4
Tiger, any Mac OS X application can tap into this functionality to sync any
kind of data reliably, frequently, and easily.
