Google Sync Puts User Info on the Same Page
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) has announced a new beta version of Google Sync that lets iPhone and Windows Mobile users synchronize their Gmail Contacts and Google Calendar events with the Web, PCs, Macs and, of course, their mobile phones.
The key innovation with the new Google Sync is that it will let users transfer data to and from their devices to Google's servers in the sky automatically as events or contacts change. Google Sync is also available for BlackBerry users.
"Once you set up Sync on your phone, it will automatically begin synchronizing your address book and calendar in the background, over-the-air, so you can attend to other tasks. Sync uses push technology so any changes or additions to your calendar or contacts are reflected on your device in minutes," explained Bryan Mawhinney, a Google mobile software engineer, on the Official Google Mobile Blog.
