SEVEN today announced the availability of itsmobile messaging solution for the Android platform. The SEVEN Android client is available today for carriers and device manufacturers who plan to embed mobile email solutions on Android devices.

“We are experiencing strong demand from both carriers and device manufacturer partners for Android solutions”, said David Ratner Senior Vice President, Engineering and Delivery. “We see tremendous opportunity to improve on what is currently available and provide richer, more functional Android devices to end-users around the world. Support of Android is a natural evolution of our strategy to enable mobile network operators, service providers and handset makers to offer a superior messaging experience across a wide range of mobile devices.”
Starting in Q2, users with compatible phones will be able to download the Android Mobile email client from the SEVEN community site at http://community.seven.com or directly from the Android market.
