More on the Intellisync buy

The more I read about this, the smarter it seems. This is about more than just push email. Intellisync focuses on a big problem for both business and consumer users: data synchronization, whether it be email, PIM, documents, etc. Intellisync’s software is built to fit into existing business software environments and is already used in conjunction with Act!, Quicken, Quickbooks, Outlook, Exchange Server, and more. I’ve also used it in conjunction with Yahoo, which offers Intellisync as a method to sync your contacts and calendar. Their approach is, let’s just help you sync your data, whatever it may be. Intellisync is also device agnostic, which is a bad thing for RIMM, since using Intellisync’s software you won’t need a Blackberry… or a Nokia, for that matter. Nokia is pushing to provide more than just hardware / software. It looks like they’re aiming to help business customers evolve their existing business environments into a wireless cloud of devices and data without the need to replace every piece of software and hardware.
