(InfoWorld) - IAnywhere SolutionsÂ is adding an instant messaging (IM) component to Information Anywhere Suite, a set of products for managing applications on PDAs and other wireless devices. The suite already has a mobile e-mail component for delivering e-mail wirelessly from Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, and other back-end systems. IAnywhere, a subsidiary of database vendor Sybase, is now adding an IM component that works with several chat applications including Lotus SameTime and Google Talk. Wireless IM is in its infancy today, at about the level wireless e-mail was just before Research In Motion's BlackBerry took off, said Senthil Krishnapillai, iAnywhere manager for product management. But wireless IM use is growing and businesses need to start thinking about how to use it efficiently and securely, he said. Like the e-mail component of Information Anywhere Suite, the IM software can encrypt messages while they are in transit as well as while stored on the device itself. It also provides a single interface for mobile workers, so they can chat with people using other IM applications without loading them all on one device. The software also provides presence information that shows when people are online. iAnywhere is making the presence information available to developers so they can embed it into other applications they build, Krishnapillai said. The IM component works with enterprise IM products including SameTime, Microsoft Live Communications Server, Jabber XCP, Jabber Wildfire, and Reuters Messaging. It also works with some public services, via the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, including Google Talk and Jabber. The product is not currently certified to work with AOL's popular AIM program, however. The IM component will be available as part of Information Anywhere Suite in the second quarter, perhaps as soon as April, Krishnapillai said. It will also be offered on a stand-alone basis for $69 per seat, he said. Â

While parent company Yahoo mulls an&#160;unsolicited acquisition bid from Microsoft, Zimbra on Tuesday shipped a version of its e-mail and collaboration software suite that adds support for BlackBerry devices and Outlook 2007.Version 5.0 of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) lets users synchronize e-mail, contacts, calendars and to-do lists with Outlook 2007.Meanwhile, it also extends its mobile reach via support for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, allowing users to access Zimbra on all BlackBerry devices. Also on the mobile front, ZCS 5.0 also lets users tap into Zimbra from J2ME devices and from any mobile Web browser, including the iPhone&#39;s.&quot;Mobility is a huge strategic priority and an area where we&#39;ll invest a lot in,&quot; Satish Dharmaraj, Yahoo vice president and Zimbra co-founder, said in an interview before Microsoft&#39;s $44.6 billion unsolicited bid for Yahoo was announced on Friday.There has been a heavy interest among Zimbra&#39;s enterprise and education customers for BlackBerry support, while consumer clients pushed for J2ME and mobile Web access, he said, adding that Zimbra plans to build a native application for the iPhone.In addition, the suite&#39;s Web client now has a to-do application for tasks management, an instant messaging application that allows group chats, and the ability to work while offline using Zimbra Desktop.With ZCS 5.0, Zimbra is also making available optional &quot;zimlets&quot; or widgets that link the suite with Yahoo services like Flickr, Yahoo Local, Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Search. Meanwhile, Zimbra technology is being brought to Yahoo Mail and Calendar, due later this year.Zimbra currently provides 11 million paid mailboxes to customers in more than 70 countries. Customers include Red Hat, Texas A&amp;M University, European ISP (Internet service provider) Eircom and Brandeis University.ZCS 5.0 is free in its Open Source Edition, while fees vary for the Network Edition commercial version, which customers can try out for free for 60 days. ZCS can be downloaded and installed by customers on premise or used as Web hosted software-as-a-service.In addition to its core e-mail application, the suite also has a word processor and a spreadsheet application that let users create, share and collaboratively edit documents. It also has a calendar and contacts list.ZCS competes against Microsoft Office and Exchange in the on-premise software market, and against Google Apps, Zoho and Cisco&#39;s WebEx in the software-as-a-service market.Yahoo surprised many when it&#160;bought Zimbra&#160;in last year&#39;s fourth quarter for $350 million. At the time,&#160;Zimbra customers in general expressed concern&#160;about the future of the suite if Zimbra became part of Yahoo, whose focus in on the consumer Internet market.&#160;
