Mobile device content management solution provider FutureDial announced that it has added the popular Apple iPhone to its large portfolio of supported handsets for the company’s software products used by carriers and wireless retailers worldwide. Stores can now transfer their customers’ personal contacts, pictures, music, and video to the iPhone quickly and easily with a few clicks of the mouse.

FutureDial’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, Mr. Shu Gan, commented that “as the iPhone becomes another hugely popular high-end handset, we wanted to make sure that our solution can help carriers and wireless retailers to accommodate the growing demand to easily transfer their customers’ phonebook contacts and premium content when they purchase an iPhone. We are now pleased to announce the iPhone as an important addition to our supported handset list as the iPhone rapidly expands into the global marketplace.”
