Information About

Syncml




SyncML is most commonly thought of as a method to synchronize contact and calendar information between some type of handheld device and a computer (personal, or network-based service), such as between a Mobile Phone and a Personal Computer . The new version of the specification includes support for Push Email , providing a standard protocol alternative to proprietary solution like BlackBerry .

Some products are now using SyncML for more general information synchronization purposes, such as to synchronize project task information across a distributed group of team members. SyncML can also be used as a base for backup solutions.

The current version of the protocol is 1.1.2. Version 1.2 is a candidate enabler and is available on OMA Release Program and Specifications page.
