e*ORB Can Connect Wireless Palms to Your Intranet

Vertel Corporation, a provider of mediation software for telecommunications networks, has announced that an optimized version of its CORBA-based e*ORB^TM software has been released to allow applications to be developed for the Palm OS. e*ORB was designed to enable wireless PDAs to be part of a company's intranet.
Optimized specifically for embedding in PDAs, e*ORB software will enable users, for the first time ever, to use standards-based CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) protocols to access their corporate intranet, retrieve documents from the network and check and send e-mail.
In addition to Palm OS, e*ORB software can be embedded in wireless PDA operating systems such as Windows CE and EPOC from Symbian.
