Zimbra today announced the availability of its ZimbraME (Java Mobile Edition) client and source code for businesses. ZimbraME is an over the air downloadable Java-based application for mobile devices that allows Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) users to access their mail, contacts and calendars. It retains the powerful search capability found in the Zimbra AJAX client.

ZimbraME source code is available to the Zimbra community (www.zimbra.com) for feedback and enhancement. ZimbraME features include:

• Real-time access to email and calendar functionality;
• Ability to tag messages, view them as conversations, save searches, and have access to other Web 2.0 features via mobile handsets;
• Powerful Server-side Search

The ZCS 5.0 Open Source Edition is free. The commercially supported ZCS 5.0 Network Edition is available for a 60-day free trial on the Zimbra website. Zimbra’s Hosted Demo (www.zimbra.com/demo) is available for an immediate test drive of ZCS.
