PalmSource Switching To SyncML

Feb 23, 2005, 5:54 PM by (staff)

PalmSource revealed that it would shift their synchronization from Hotsync to SyncML while at 3GSM. This change signals yet another step in PalmSource's shift from a PDA OS company to a Phone OS one. By switching to SyncML, PalmSource is allowing its users to access over the air (OTA) synchronization servers that many companies already have in place. They have installed these because most feature phones as well as most other smartphones use SyncML to synchronize contacts and calendars to devices OTA. This could also be seen as a move to ease the synchronization process for Apple owners who have Palm OS devices, as iSync also uses SyncML.

Too little too late?

I mean, they should have done this years ago. I think they should have been one of the first companies to embrace it! Now that they're moving increasingly into phone space, they've got to compete with Win Mobile and Symbian... somehow I just don't see Palm cutting it without some major interface overhauls.

why not

why not having EVERYTHING be able to synchronize with everything already...

I swear, the problem with technology these days is too many standards making it much too difficult for consumers to have the IDEAL devices...

thank god this is the first step in the right direction.
