SyncML – an open standard for synchronization

SyncML background

Leading the way in providing remote synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes that interoperability of remote synchronization is of utmost importance if mobile data usage is to become as widespread as generally predicted. That is why Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and Starfish Software, founded the SyncML initiative in February 2000. Supported by more than 600 software and hardware developers, the SyncML initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally open standard for remote synchronization, called SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization platforms, SyncML is an open industry specification that offers universal interoperability. Because it uses a common language, called XML, for specifying the messages that synchronize devices and applications, SyncML has been called the only truly future-proof platform for enabling reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost anywhere and in a wide variety of devices, regardless of application or operating system.

M600 uses SyncML for both local synchronization (with a PC using Bluetooth™ connectivity or a cable connection) and remote synchronization over HTTP.

What information can be synchronized in the M600?

Application	Remote	Local
	sync	sync

Contacts	9	9

Calendar	9	9

Tasks	9	9

Note (text part only)	**	9

Email	**	9

Bookmarks	**	9

**Note, Email and Bookmark implementation are proprietary and therefore not SyncML compliant.
