Exchange Email for the Kindle Fire™

Tablet optimized ActiveSync Email client

TouchDown is the first and only tablet optimized ActiveSync client available on the Kindle Fire™. With TouchDown, you get a desktop-like view of your corporate email, contacts, calendar and tasks on the Kindle Fire™

Once you successfully download and configure TouchDown on the Kindle Fire, you are presented with a familiar split screen view with a list on the left side and detail on the right side. Navigate between your emails, contact, calendar and tasks with a single click on the top buttons. No need to launch another app for switching between views. You can tap and drag on the splitter to resize the two panes.

Secure, Manageable and Enterprise Friendly

TouchDown on the Kindle Fire™ brings you the same security and manageability features that are currently enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of users on their Android smartphones and tablets. Enterprises administrators love TouchDown for its ability to enforce the necesary security policies that makes your devices safe for accessing and storing sensitive corporate data.

If your enterprise requires a password to access sensitive information, TouchDown enforces the password at the application level. No need to lock your entire device to secure your data. TouchDown also encrypts sensitive information on the device if corporate policies dictate on-device encryption. Furthermore, if you ever lose your device, TouchDown supports the ability to wipe all the corporate data it contains through the Exchange Remote Wipe functionality, or through the user-initiated Remote-Kill feature whcih you can set up independently.

Availability

A 30 day trial of TouchDown is available on the Amazon AppStore.

Note that it works best with Microsoft Exchange servers that have ActiveSync enabled. If you are not sure, please check with your administrator to ensure your server is compliant.
