Sybase announced that it would be launching a new software for the iPhone that will let users access their email in a secured environment. This new program will be similar to the ones used in BlackBerry and Palm Treo handsets and will be made available to iPhone users sometime before the end of this year.

Although there are not to many details given by Sybase yet, one thing was confirmed though regarding this new program, “It will be secure enterprise grade”. And perhaps this is more than enough reason to anticipate this new program as it was what made RIM’s BlackBerry devices and Palm Treo’s popular among business mobile phone users.

Sybase has been known as a reliable business software maker not only among these two smartphone manufacturers but with other smartphones running on Symbian OS and Windows powered mobile devices. Adding the same secured mobile email program to the iPhone would certainly elevate the iPhone into the ranks of business oriented smartphones.

And so now we wait for the exact date when this made for iPhone program will be launched. Sybase says it will be soon. In the 3G iPhone perhaps?
