Toshiba announces that VIPedge features are now available for iOS users through the enhanced Call Manager Mobile. HTML5-based Call Manager Mobile lets users manage instant messages and take office calls on their mobile phones. It also provides users access to Toshiba’s cloud-based VIPedge business telephone solution.

Call Manager Mobile can handle single and group instant messaging sessions, with support for multiple simultaneous ones. Broadcast messages can also be sent by users. Toshiba’s Call Manager Mobile offers both telephone and XMPP-based enhanced presence state information. Every VIPedge customer also gets an XMPP server instance.

Toshiba says that Call Manager Mobile will soon work with other operating systems, including OS X and Windows.
