We recently announced a mobile (SMS) application as an extension of our Lyris HQ online marketing suite. This was a natural evolution for us given that our marketing and agency customers are already sending email messages and collecting communication preferences with our tools. As long as marketers keep their user preferences/needs in mind -- and more users keep buying more sophisticated mobile devices from firms like Apple, BlackBerry and Nokia -- the sky's the limit.
