ATLANTA-Synchronization between wireless handsets and personal computers remains a priority in data management circles, as both Synchrologic Inc. and FusionOne Inc. introduced separate synchronization products last week.
Synchrologic made available its iMobile Data Synchronization 3.0 for enterprise data synchronization with personal digital assistants from Palm Inc. and Pocket PCs, as well as mobile laptop computers. The upgraded version includes out-of-the-box integration with the Palm HotSync Server.
Meanwhile, FusionOne introduced a mobile desktop service giving subscribers access to PC-based personal data from Web-enabled phones. The service is based on an online repository to which users connect to access personal data such as e-mail addresses, contact lists and schedules.
As the user enters or modifies information on one device-PC or wireless handset-the service automatically forwards the changes to a storage space on the Internet, which will be broadcast to other devices supported by the service when they connect.
FusionOne also provides the appropriate translation services needed for cross-platform data sharing, such as from Outlook to Netscape Communicator, the company said.
