Palm and RIM to Collaborate on Treo Software

Posted by Hemos on from the what's-the-sound-of-two-hand(helds)-clapping dept.

Rayaru writes "Palm and RIM have apparantly signed a deal allowing the Treo 650 to use RIM's email software. "The partnership with RIM is unique in that it is Palm's first chance to give Treo customers automatic synchronisation with calendaring." It's interesting that the deal also includes "future Treo products with the Palm operating system." Perhaps a Treo 670 Palm version is in the works?"

    "...unique in that it is Palm's first chance to give Treo customers automatic synchronization with calendaring."
    Maybe I didn't understand this statement, but I have always had automatic calendar sync, albeit with GoodLink software.
  2. Support for open source calendar servers? by IGnatius+T+Foobar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ideally, I would like to see this fancy new combined software package contain support for either SyncML or GroupDAV. It would be nice to connect to open source calendar servers, using a sync server like Sync4J or even natively on standards-compliant calendar servers.
