That's a horde of cash, especially for a company that has previously raised at least $80 million. (UPDATE: In fact, Visto has now raised $230 million"</i><br /><br />$230 Million? That's a lot of cash to invest in push email. Especially when there are so many others already doing the same thing. They have a lot of ground to make up on RIM and Microsoft. Does anyone think the market is big enough for this many push email vendors?

I agree, when Microsoft decides to jump in with push email (WM5), the field is getting crowded. This is good news for us smartphone users, isn't it? 8)
