"With Enhanced Wireless Desktop, we've been able to improve our Wireless Desktop solution delivering e-mail to the customer's choice of wireless PDA when it's received in their inbox."

In addition to e-mail access, Visto has added over the air (OTA) calendar and contacts synchronization capabilities with selected wireless devices.

"Enhanced Wireless Desktop from Rogers AT&T Wireless is a market-leading solution at an exceptional value for mobile workers," said Brian Bogosian, chairman, president and CEO of Visto. "Rogers AT&T Wireless subscribers can now have convenient online and offline access to their office e-mail, calendar and address book on the most popular devices."

Customers need only install client software on their Rogers AT&T Wireless PDA and their desktop PC to enable seamless and secure access to their e-mail, calendar and contacts.
