DataViz Licenses Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Protocol
DataViz announced today that it has licensed the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol. DataViz intends to incorporate this technology into RoadSync, a mobile ActiveSync client available both commercially and to potential licensees.
RoadSync will provide non-Microsoft smartphones and other mobile devices with direct, over-the-air, secure synchronization with corporate Outlook e-mail and personal information management data, such as calendar and contacts. By integrating the RoadSync client with ActiveSync, enterprise customers will have more choices in the types of mobile devices they deploy and will be better able to utilize their existing Exchange Server investment instead of relying on costly middleware solutions. The first editions of RoadSync to incorporate the ActiveSync protocol will be available in May 2005 for the Symbian OS based UIQ platform, Palm OS, and select Java MIDP 2.0 devices, such as the Sony Ericsson P900 series, palmOne Treo and Motorola RAZR respectively.
"Our goal is to enable our customers to achieve the next level of mobility in their 'Office life' by providing full access to their Outlook data, regardless of their chosen device or platform." said Dick Fontana, president and CEO of DataViz, Inc. "With RoadSync for Symbian UIQ, Palm OS and Java available in May, followed by phased implementations for BREW and Nokia's Series 60 and Series 80 platforms throughout this year, we will enable many to easily take their 'Office life' wireless, sooner, rather than later."

This is not a recent phenomenon. The ActiveSync problems have been evident for several years. Use it at your own risk.

This is a common misunderstanding, due to Microsoft's crazy product naming schemes.

As many many people will tell you, just because its not the best does not mean it wont win. All the Mac fans, all the Palm fans and all the Betamax fans will all say the same thing.
Not that I think Palm is the best.... but some people do.

Guys, this is real. Its no April Fools Day joke.
-------------
Following Symbian’s announcement just last week that they will be licensing Microsoft’s ActiveSync, DataViz Inc. has just done the same. DataViz a provider of Office compatibility software intends to incorporate Microsoft’s ActiveSync into their RoadSync software. It will provide non-Microsoft smartphones and other mobile devices with direct, over-the-air, secure synchronization with corporate Outlook e-mail and personal information management data, such as calendar and contacts. Expect to even see more of these announcements in the next year or two when more companies try to position themselves to take some of RIM’s lucrative share of the push-email market.
