On-the-go entrepreneurs can now get more out of their mobile
devices. Some new services from Fusion-One are worth checking into. Verizon
Wireless Get It Now users can download Backup Assistant to their
phones. The service automatically backs up your phone's address
book for $2 per month. That way, if your phone gets lost or stolen,
you don't lose valuable contacts. It's also handy for
transferring contacts to a new phone. You can view, edit and print
your address book online, and any changes automatically synchronize
with your phone. FusionOne's service is also available through
carriers like Alltell and Cellular One under the MightyBackup
name.
FusionOne's other flagship service for consumers is
MightyPhone, a synchronization service that covers contacts,
calendar and tasks. Phones that use BREW can sync with Microsoft
Outlook in the latest version of the software. It's a good way
to keep your phone up-to-date without having to connect it directly
to your PC. The cost is about $3 per month. Visit MightyPhone.com to get
more information on availability and which phones are
supported.
