								<span>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sybase Inc (SY.N) plans to soon start 
selling software that lets businesses securely distribute e-mail to the 
iPhone, which could help the popular device gain use among business 
clients.<br><br>The program for Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPhone will be 
released before the end of this year, John Chen said on Monday at the 
Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit in New York. When 
asked to be more specific, he said, "It will be soon."<br><br>The new 
program lets workers use the iPhone to access their e-mail with the same
 security safeguards that are currently available in products for use on
 Treo smartphones from Palm Inc (PALM.O) and Research in Motion's 
(RIM.TO) BlackBerry, Chen said.<br><br>He said that Sybase is also 
working on similar software for Android, a new smartphone platform that 
Google Inc (GOOG.O) is developing with dozens of other companies.<br><br>The
 new Sybase software programs will allow businesses to deliver e-mail to
 several different types of phones, depending on which device a user 
carries, Chen said.<br><br>"It will be secure enterprise grade," Chen said. "It will let the IT guys manage it."<br><br>The
 business software maker already sells software that companies can use 
to send e-mail using the BlackBerry, Treo and smartphones running on the
 Symbian operating system as well as one for mobile devices from 
Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O).</span>
