Lemonade A Threat To BlackBerry?

LEMONADE (License to Enhanced Mobile Oriented and Diverse Endpoints) is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) protocol and working group aimed at addressing email bandwidth issues for mobile devices, which are often restricted in storage space for email attachments. The LEMONADE solution includes extensions to existing email protocols (IMAP, SMTP) designed specifically for mobile email. One feature is the ability to "forward without download", whereby an email with an attachment could be forwarded to another email address without the attachment first being downloaded by the mobile device.

Isode has updated its M-Box software to implement all of the IETF's mobile email recommendations. They offer the first commercial email server to do so. [sources: Cellular News] The IETF also maintains the SIP signalling protocol, which is an open standard used in VoIP services to emulate the functionality of regular PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) calling features.
