Don't Wait for My Phone: Google Sync and Others Are Here Now
Mon, Feb 9th, 2009 |
Microsoft's upcoming My Phone sync service could be a boon for businesses that use Windows Mobile and don't host their own exchange servers. The upcoming product will sync address books, calendars, and other data over-the-air with PCs, not requiring a direct connection between the two.
Microsoft hasn't announced full details about the My Phone launch and availability, but you don't have to wait for these features. Here are four over-the-air services that you can use right now to sync typical phone data, documents, photos, and more. You might not even need a smartphone.
