Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2005 -- Inventop, a leader in location based-services and mobile social networking space, today announced the release of ProximityMail 1.44, now compatible with the latest 1.5 Bluetooth Stack of Widcomm-Broadcom, stack built-in in Bluetooth PDA such as most HP Ipaq series.

ProximityMail is the first community messaging application for wireless devices creating on-the-fly spontaneous ad-hoc networks peer to multipeers. Using a wireless device (mobile phones, PDA or laptop) ProximityMail is like a mobile chat room or newsgroup that allows anonymous, public or private communications. It enables consumers to create groups, subscribe (or not) to those of interest, without knowing others phone number or email address and therefore facilitates community building and customers relationship building wherever groups of people are gathered.

ProximityMail enables retailers, enterprises and larges brands to build relationships with their customers using wireless devices. It improves and expands the effectiveness of their marketing mix, and offers the most bang for their marketing buck. During their shopping experience, consumers can communicate with their peers and post any classifieds they want, and at the same time, receive special offers or coupons from their favorite store.

ProximityMail transforms Bluetooth enabled devices into a localized community-messaging network. It incorporates Inventops Patent-pending BluePing Network technology, which enables hassle-free peer-to-peer networking, expanded Bluetooth effective range well beyond 10 meters, instantaneous random area networks", and powerful communications capabilities for PDAs and other devices. BluePing Network technology is 100% compliant with the Bluetooth 1.2 specification and currently supports the PocketPC platform.

Unlike other point-to-point networking or messaging products, such as SMS, IM, or email, ProximityMail allows users to communicate anonymously to groups of users, without knowing a specific user's PDA id, phone number, email address, MAC address or IP address.
