palmOne Licenses Microsoft Exchange Server Synchronization
"palmOne, Inc. has licensed Microsoft's Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol to enable the delivery of wireless and direct synchronization between Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and future Treo smartphones. The company is planning to use the technology to extend the company's device support for Microsoft Exchange Server by adding capability for wireless server-based synchronization."
Did I just see a pig fly? 8O Honestly, this isn't really surprising. Microsoft based devices are starting to come equipped to handle sync'ing with either RIM's BB Connect or Microsoft's Exchange. palmOne had to pick at least one of these technologies to remain competitive. At this point any company running RIM or Exchange is not about to drop that investment for 1 new device. It just makes good business sense to add license the major technologies and implement them into your device. Thus allowing the customer to leverage their existing investments.
