Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI), developer of the leading email
client Incredimail, today debuted its latest version of Incredimail,
forever changing the email experience for iPad owners. Incredimail for
the iPad is the first email application truly adapted for the
touch-screen, and is the first major redesign of email in over 20 years.
It redesigns the inbox, unifies multiple email accounts, creates a photo
inbox from your friends and family Facebook photos, and elevates
messages so their contents can easily be seen by users at a glance, in
an intuitive “magazine-by-touch” format.

“We love email and believe it is, and will remain, a vital form of
communication for years to come. But the new Incredimail is more than
that. It is both a unified messaging application, including a photo
inbox, as well as a bold new step in recreating the experience as needed
for a multi-screen world, especially for newer mobile formats that have
seen explosive growth,” said Josef Mandelbaum, CEO of Perion. “We think
users, especially our users, are going to love Incredimail for the iPad.
It changes the entire email experience, tailored just for devices like
the iPad. We look forward to extending this quality experience to the
iPhone, Android and other devices later this year and eventually even
bring this exciting new email to the desktop.”
In its recent survey1, Perion found that consumers,
especially second wave adopters, now prefer the iPad for reading and
writing email, beating out PCs and smartphones by a wide margin. But the
survey also found that typically passionate iPad users were not as
pleased as they could be with their current email choices. Previous
email applications were designed for the PC era, and until now, there
has not been a major rethink of the email experience for a multi-screen
mobile world.
Incredimail's striking visual design provides innovative functionality
for users, to easily view and share email content, including articles,
photos and videos. Incredimail redesigns the email experience, bringing
the elegance and ease-of-use consumers love from the iPad to their
inboxes.
Incredimail is available for free download in the App Store. Highlights
that users can enjoy with Incredimail for the iPad include:
-
Unified Inbox: Add as many email accounts as you want and view
them in a unified inbox, or view each account separately. Incredimail
currently supports Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, and any other IMAP account.
-
Quick Peeks: See a quick preview of emails directly from the
inbox, without having to open them.
-
Photo Inbox: In addition to the regular email inbox, enjoy a
photo inbox that features photos from friends and family, keeping you
fully up to date with the people that matter most (starting with
Facebook photos, others will be added soon).
-
Link Previews (a.k.a. Snippets): All links sent to you
including photos, videos and articles, are presented as a preview
within the email for a pleasant and uninterrupted email experience.
Links you send are also viewed as previews by the email recipient.
-
Email Stationery: Enjoy a specially designed email stationery
collection to add a personal style to emails you send. Additional
stationery and rich content coming soon.
-
Built-In Web Browser: Search and browse the web right inside
your inbox, ensuring an uninterrupted experience.
-
Future features to include: POP3 email support, other social
platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and more photo
integration with Picasa Web, Flickr and Instagram.
“Incredimail brings together the potential of new devices with the
beautiful visual interface that iPad users enjoy,” said Ron Harari,
General Manager of Perion’s Communication Products Division. “The team
has been focused on the vision of bringing a new look to email and we're
proud to deliver some exciting new tweaks to the best of traditional
email."
