Announcing wMobile 3

Although wMobile 3 has been out for several weeks now, as with most new product releases, we prefer to test them ourselves for a little while before given them our blessing.  We can wholeheartedly say, wMobile 3 is ready for all.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with wMobile, it provides access to GoldMine via your phone, tablet, MAC or PC via your Internet browser… all LIVE!  Imagine simply pulling out your phone to lookup a contact, check history, lookup details, or even open linked documents.  Perform many GoldMine functions, including sending and receiving e-mail just as if you were at your desk with GoldMine open.
