Pageonce unveils fully mobile free iPhone application -
"A Personal Assistant 2.0"
Since June launch Pageonce member accounts have grown 500% to over 300,000 accounts
PALO ALTO, Calif. - August 13, 2008 - Pageonce, the first Personal Internet Assistant, released a fully mobile version of its free iPhone application, iOnce. iOnce version 2.0 offers significant security enhancements, for use in the event that the mobile devices become lost or stolen, and enables consumers to register with Pageonce, and add and manage all accounts directly from their iPhone or iPod touch. iOnce by Pageonce, is a new free, easy and secure consumer utility that allows users to access and view all of their personal online accounts from a single mobile service.
Within 10 days of launch in the Apple App Store, the first version of Pageonce's iOnce Personal Assistant application ranked in the top 3 applications in the Productivity category. Closely ranked with other iPhone applications, such as Yelp, Twitter, Last.fm and PayPal, the iOnce Personal Assistant also ranked in the top 50 in the Popularity category out of all free iPhone applications.
"We are very pleased with the growth we have seen since the launch of our free iPhone application a few weeks ago," said Guy Goldstein, CEO and Co-founder of Pageonce. "We have grown our accounts by 500% since our launch just two months ago and we continue to see very strong growth on a daily basis. We have heard from customers that our application is truly addictive and have some users who check their data over 10 times a day."
iOnce version 2.0 offers significant enhancements from a security perspective with its mobile destruct feature that instantly deletes all account information upon activation if an iPhone or iPod touch is lost or stolen. Additionally, version 2.0 enables users to register their device by serial number, allowing that device and that device alone access to their Pageonce account data. The most anticipated of the version 2.0 features, which Pageonce is pleased to announce has now been implemented, is the ability for users to register, add accounts and fully manage their Pageonce account directly from their iPhone or iPod touch.
Why a Mobile Personal Internet Assistant is a MUST HAVE
Managing all one's personal online accounts on the computer is time-consuming and tedious. However, it's next to impossible to perform these necessary tasks via your iPhone or iPod touch - with the incessant scrolling, clicking, and on-the-go password memorization you have to do on your mobile, the process that takes 15 minutes at home or in the office can take forever when on the move. This is why Pageonce has created the new fully mobile iOnce Personal Assistant, a free iPhone application designed to help ease the pain of managing your online life on your mobile.
"Because our service is so broad, our free iPhone application works equally well for those looking for an iPhone finance application, for example, as those looking for an iPhone travel application," said Ahikam Kaufman, co-founder and COO of Pageonce. "The beauty of Pageonce is that, in addition to the two categories I just mentioned, users can also access email, social, shopping and utilities all in one app."
iOnce by Pageonce provides access to thousands of Internet accounts from the following categories: email, finance, social networking, utilities, travel, and shopping. Users also have the option to receive timely notifications via the mobile app or email alerts when important changes occur in their accounts - new travel itineraries, mileage points earned, flight status updates, approaching cell minute limits, package delivery dates and important balance changes - all without ever having to surf multiple websites, login or remember various passwords. Pageonce employs military-level security and is certified by TRUSTe, McAfee Hacker Safe and VeriSign. With Pageonce, users can actually increase their Internet and mobile security by assigning different user names and passwords to each of their accounts and simply managing them all directly from Pageonce.
