9:43AM Nick Broughall | This announcement from Telstra confuses me: We can already access email on pretty much any mobile phone these days, and I can’t picture most people wanting to check their SMS messages on their PC. So what’s the deal?
MyConnect is made up of three different parts: My Inbox, which is an online message, contact and calendar management service for all your various messages like email, sms, voicemail etc and is free; My Email which lets you access up to five different email accounts on your mobile for $7 a month (hang on, doesn’t the HTC Touch Diamond do that for free?) and MySync, which for $3 a month will backup all your contacts and calendars and synchronise it with MyInbox.
So essentially it’s like a MobileMe for Telstra customers. And it costs about the same too – for all the features you’re looking at $120 a year.
Aside from the obvious bitching about price, is this something any of you guys would be interested in? Or are there other, better solutions you’d prefer?
