The Internet Edition is priced at $50 for a one-year subscription, while the Corporate Edition is priced at $100 for a year. Users can sample both versions through a 30-day free trial by downloading the software from Handspring.

The e-mail service subscription fees are in addition to the extra airtime minutes mobile phone service providers may charge users.

Treo e-mail is powered by wireless service provider Visto and is optimized for the Treo communicator, allowing users to program one-button e-mail access and select a range of delivery options, Handspring says.
