PalmSource and Good Bringing GoodLink to Palm OS

PalmSource has teamed up with Good Technology to port GoodLink to the Palm OS. The GoodLink wireless corporate messaging system works with Microsoft Exchange Server to give handheld users a continuously synchronized wireless connection with Microsoft Outlook accounts when they are away from their desktops. There was no word when GoodLink for the Palm OS would be available

GoodLink handles email, secure attachments, contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks. It ensures that actions taken by the user, whether on the handheld or on the desktop, are mirrored. Delete a message and it is gone everywhere. Same with filing in folders, or even "marking read".

"This alliance provides our licensees with another valuable enterprise service that promotes cost savings while helping employees to be more productive," said David Nagel, CEO of PalmSource.

Palm Inc. has recently announced similar systems for its own handhelds but GoodLink will be available to work with the handhelds from any Palm OS licensee.
