Tungle meeting coordinator now available for 5.4 million Apple iPhone users

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 - 02:47 PM EST

Tungle, the free business-class meeting coordination service that eliminates the wasted time and frustration of scheduling meetings among many busy people, continues to increase its network of users with the release of it new interface for iPhone users. Apple has so far sold 5.4 million iPhones worldwide, based on data from the end of Apple's fiscal second quarter, which ended in March.

Tungle is a Microsoft Outlook plug-in that empowers users to coordinate meetings with anyone, across platforms – including iCal, Google Calendar, Lotus Notes, the BlackBerry and now the iPhone – as well as across organizations, time zones and even individuals not using Tungle.

“Smart phone users have demanded a rich interface, real-time information and easy access to their busy calendars.” says Marc Gingras, Tungle CEO in the press release. “Tungle is a great fit for this audience. Extending our interface to iPhone users means they now have a simple to use and powerful tool to coordinate meetings quickly and efficiently anytime, anywhere away from their computer.”

With Tungle’s new iPhone interface, those checking email on their iPhone device can receive a Tungle meeting invitation with a link. A click on the link launches a browsing session to the Tungle scheduling site formatted for their device. There, they update their availability. Once the meeting is booked, they receive a booked meeting confirmation, formatted for their iPhone calendar.

A free service, Tungle has been in open beta since April 16, 2008. The recently launched Tungle Outlook plug-in takes less than 30 seconds to install. It automatically synchronizes with users’ Outlook address books and calendars, eliminating any configuration or complicated setup. This information is kept secure and locally on the user’s machine, and is not uploaded or shared with anyone else or with Tungle. Its IM-like user interface makes it easy for users to understand and to start using within seconds.

So really it's like sending meeting requests in Outlook/Exchange to a Blackberry or Windows mobile device? How revolutionary.

Tungle v2.1
Minimum Requirements:
Outlook 2002 and higher
Windows XP and Vista

No thanks.

From the Tungle FAQ:
"Who can I coordinate meetings with?
" . . . MAC (sic) (iCal, Entourage) users . . ."

"What does Tungle mean?"
"That's a secret kept for the Tungle team! If you want to know, join the team."

Considering the requirements, I think we can guess where the inspiration for the name came from.

Ampar, love the link. I can assure you he was not the inspiration for our name. Also, please check out our blog (http://blog.tungle.com/) to see how Apple users can work with Tungle.

"However, we will soon support iCal and Entourage."

So, there's hope.

Thanks, Mark.
