Forward Email to SMS text

Many people have asked in the last while how can they get their emails on a mobile phone? Of course, the mobile carriers are encouraging them all to use a service and a device such as a Blackberry, iPhone or Treo and sign up for a pricey data plan that can run as high as $70+ per month. That is overkill for what the typical user needs!
A lot of people are walking around with what could be called a vanilla-type mobile phone that supports SMS. SMS is text-based ‘ Short Messaging Service’ that allows all the 2.5 Billion… Continue reading

Amika Mobile products are unique in that they take any content, analyze and distil it to key words that provide the essential information or meaning contained in the original email or web page. The products leverage artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze and abstract the salient meaning from email and web-based information. This effective use of artificial intelligence provides a personalized email summary to your mobile device.

Intelligent mobile messaging

Carriers and ISPs are looking for sticky applications to deal with churn but are still stuck on pushing more down the pipe rather than taking a more intelligent approach to content. Three major device competitors – Blackberry, Nokia and Motorola all have different shticks as the expression goes. At last fall’s CTIA Wireless I.T. and Entertainment show in San Francisco, Nokia featured a number of partners including the usual practical business applications and fun ones like games on the phone such as Heroes and Miami CSI.

The most encouraging news for smart Email-to-SMS vendors like Amika Mobile is the… Continue reading

Personalized mobile phone

Over the decade I have been using mobile devices to view email, I have noticed how users get completely addicted to their devices. I recall walking around with a Nokia flip phone - circa 2000 that I finally gave up for a Motorola phone circa 2004! I still think both vendors offer great phones. Today, I walk around with a Pearl from Blackberry. 2007 marks the first time in a decade that I have accepted a Blackberry as a phone and as an email device. I had both. I get the Gist of Email from various sources… Continue reading

Emergency alerts through SMS

Wireless access to email, phone and other critical content is not an extravagance for today’s mobile users — it is a necessity, especially when community safety is involved. When emergency events occur in a community, such as shootings and lockdowns on campus and in buildings, there is an urgent need for the broadcast and delivery of emergency alerts through SMS to community members within minutes, if not seconds. Such emergency notification requires urgent broadcasts of point-to-multipoint messages.

The Amika Mobility Server (AMS) provides a text message-based alert broadcasting system for campus, city, or geographically distributed areas, sending… Continue reading

Push email for mobile phones

It is interesting that the approach that vendors and carriers continue to tout to users is that they need ALL their emails on the mobile phones. Users can either register for a “push” email for mobile phones service such as the Blackberry and receive every annoying desktop email they get in its full glory with its hundreds of lines and threads. Or they can sign-up to other vendor offerings such as Google or Yahoo! with their “pull” offerings for Smart Phones which download your desktop email view to your 2×2 inch micro screen! Both types of services force you into… Continue reading
