SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 29, 2007—Web collaboration leader WebEx, today launched a new iPhone compatible version of WebEx PCNow, the only on-demand remote access service for both desktops and wireless devices. PCNow gives iPhone users the ability to access their desktop PC files, and Microsoft Outlook corporate email, contacts and appointments from their wireless device. iPhone users can register for a free 30-day trial at pcnow.webex.com

“This latest version of WebEx PCNow gives iPhone users the ability to wirelessly access their desktop PC from anywhere, at any time,” said Jack Chawla, senior director of product management, WebEx. "We're delighted to be able to utilize the innovations in iPhone to enable seamless access to desktop files, email and tools 24/7."

WebEx PCNow is the first remote access solution to support both PC-to-PC and phone-to-PC access. Through a partnership with mobile technology provider SoonR, it enables iPhone users the ability to access their desktop for search, Microsoft Outlook contacts, calendar, email and multiple types of documents. Content is optimized for viewing and designed to deliver the same experience as working on the desktop computer. There is no software to download; users simply navigate iPhone’s Safari web browser to access their desktop.

WebEx PCNow includes the following mobile access capabilities:

  • Mobile File Access— Access and view files, photos, and documents stored on your remote computer from any mobile phone. Quickly email or share documents and pictures on the go. View slideshows and share comments with other users.
  • Mobile Desktop Search—Use popular desktop search tools such as Google, and Windows to quickly find documents, emails, images and contacts stored on the desktop PC. Easily forward files from search results to colleagues and friends.
  • Mobile Skype VoIP—Use SkypeOut to call contacts even on mobile devices that are not supported by the Skype mobile client.
  • Mobile Outlook Integration—Read, reply, forward or delete emails and have your changes automatically updated on the Outlook on your computer. Create emails or appointments, and access contacts.
