Synchronize your iPhone/iPod wireless device with Oracle Calendar
Introduction
SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language)
Existing synchronization solutions have mostly been somewhat vendor-, application- or operating system specific. The purpose of SyncML is to change this by offering an open standard as a replacement. The founding vision: "Global synchronization and integration of wireless and wireline devices".
SyncML is most commonly thought of as a method to synchronize contact and calendar information (Personal Information Manager) between some type of handheld device and an Oracle Server (Oracle).
Downloading SyncML
SyncML is available for purchase from Synthesis AG. SyncML costs approximately $15 dollars taxes included, and can be purchased through the iTunes Store.
