For all time now, ever since there was a Palm, when we hear Hotsync, we associate it with Palm. Now, after the 3GSM World congress, palmSource has announced that they are "dumping" the Hotsync technology for SyncML. Just in case you still don't know what SyncML is, well, if you own a mobile phone that can synchronize with your PC, chances are it uses SyncML technology to sync your phone's data to the computer. With this change, it will allow for much broader support of many backend and corporate deployed mobile server systems. It also allows for users to access over the air (OTA) synchronization servers already in place.
SyncML aims is to deliver an open, industry-wide specification for the universal synchronization of remote data and personal information across multiple networks, platforms, and devices. PalmSource was a founding member of the SyncML Initiative, an open standards group that drives data mobility.
