Bluefire Awarded "Designed for Palm Products" Compatibility on the Palm Centro Smartphone

BALTIMORE, MD (December 7, 2007) - Bluefire, the leading provider of mobile and wireless security software, today announced its Bluefire Mobile Security® VPN has received the “Designed for Palm Products” logo for the new Palm® Centro™ smartphone.

With voice, text, IM, email, web, contact and calendar capabilities, a full-color touch screen and full keyboard, Centro brings Palm simplicity and organization to customers who want to stay connected with co-workers, friends and family.**

As use of the Mobile Web 2.0 rapidly increases, users are relying more on their mobile phones for productivity and functionality. They are sending text messages and emails,  downloading more sophisticated web applications, accessing mobile banking, and storing pictures, contacts, email, videos and more – all driving the need for a device that combines fast download speeds, reliable connections, and large storage capacities. Palm Centro – running the Palm OS® 5.4.9 operating system – offers both consumers and professionals functionality, connectivity, and ease of use. Bluefire’s mobile VPN assures Palm Centro customers that their data-in-transit will remain private and secure.

“As smartphones, such as Palm Centro, are becoming more indispensable to users, they are also more at risk,” said Bluefire’s CEO, Mark Komisky. “With the increasing prevalence of mobile email, text messaging and a growing remote workforce, individuals and corporations want and need complete security for mobile devices.”

“Centro offers users phone, text, IM, email, and web all on one device, giving them the freedom and choice to communicate from their device,” said Mike Rank, director of Developer Relations at Palm, Inc. “We value our alliances with organizations like Bluefire that provide our customers with a comprehensive security solution to enhance the user’s mobile experience. Palm Centro users can be confident that their data and communications remain secure.”

The Designed for Palm Products program ensures Palm users a consistent experience by testing the compatibility of third-party applications with Palm devices. Developers who successfully pass the compatibility test receive the Designed for Palm Products logo to use in their materials to let Palm users know their application has been tested on Palm devices.
