Empower HTML Mail Viewer Pro Released! – $15 Discount

Empower HTML Mail Viewer Pro Edition that we told you about before has finally been released. The new version costs $29.99 and adds a ton of new features. Sadly the new version is currently only compatible with OS 4.2.1 and up including OS 4.3 but a version for older OS’s is supposed to be out later. Check out this post for screenshots of the new Empower HTML Email Viewer Pro Edition.

I just read on BlackBerryForums that Empower is offering a discount of $15 until Dec 31st, 2007. Just use the coupon code BBFPRO15 when you purchase.

For people who have already purchased Empower Mail Viewer Standard you will be able to get an upgrade to the Pro version for just $5!!! Also, all registered users of EMV Std. This offer is valid until New Year Night. (Dec 31st, 2007)

PLEASE NOTE: Make sure to uninstall the old version of Empower before installing this new version!!! One of our reviewers did not do this and had to reload his device!!!

The PRO Edition also sets another milestone in the way 3rd Party Apps integrate on BlackBerry. With PRO Edition we have opened a set of APIs to Empower. Given the fact that email is the primary use of BlackBerry and a number of software apps integrate with email, we believe this is a huge step.

EMV Pro APIs allow any 3rd Party developer to take benefit of the HTML Viewing capabilities of Empower. PocketDay Integration makes use of this architecture. We believe that with time more and more developers will join in and want to benefit users through these APIs.
