Intellisync for Next-Generation PDAs
Latest edition of essential software for syncing handheld and desktop supports Pocket PC 2002.

By Yardena Arar
April 2002 issue: PC World magazine

For many PDA owners, a Palm or a Pocket PC is only as good as its ability to sync up with desktop calendars, address books, to-do lists, and memo pads. Unless you're satisfied with the applications that your device supports out of the box (Palm Desktop for Palms, Microsoft Outlook for Pocket PCs), you need a program that mediates between your handheld and your organizing software. I looked at a new version of Pumatech's admirable Intellisync that extends the software's legacy. Read more...

Synchronize Contact Data Across Multiple Platforms
IntelliSync Gold lets devices communicate

By Logan Harbaugh
January 1998 issue: Information Week

[Pumatech's] IntelliSync Gold offers synchronization support for multiple mobile devices in a single package that solves several problems at once. Keeping track of a personal information manager database at the office, at home, and on one or more handheld devices or portable computers is helped by programs that exchange data and update entries between PIMs and other devices. But for network managers, managing licensing and installation of synchronization programs can be a headache, e specially given the variety of formats that PIM users have-for example, an end user who has GoldMine at work may use a Windows CE handheld and a PC at home with Microsoft Outlook.
