Vodafone takes email mobile across Europe

With the recent flurry of activity that's been going on in the mobile email market, Vodafone has announced that it too has designs on users' inboxes.

The operator has announced it has signed email firm Visto to provide push email services, including calendar and contacts lists.

The service is currently available in six European countries – Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain, with more rollouts planned in other European countries later this year.

The push email service comes in several different versions in order to cater for both large corporate rollouts and SME use.
