The companies are teaming on strategic business, engineering and marketing initiatives designed to deliver optimized Sybase iAnywhere mobility software on HTC devices. The alliance will focus initially on the management and security components of the Sybase Information Anywhere® suite, which provides a platform for enterprise mobility. Sybase will work closely with HTC on product optimization and integration, resulting in stronger Windows Mobile device management and security options for enterprises."</i><br /><br />Sounds good in theory, but a question for the enterprise readers out there: does anyone use Sybase's enterprise management tools? Sybase's main market is SQL (via their SQL Anywhere suite), as far as I know. I'm guessing the main customer base of interest would be those who are looking to tie their Sybase SQL products into the mobility sphere <i>with</i> appropriate mobile management.
