JP Mobile, a maker of enterprise middleware in the mobile market, said that it was preparing a version of its SureWave Enterprise Server that will add support for Novell's GroupWise 6.0 and 6.5 e-mail and collaboration software by next quarter. SureWave, which already supports e-mail server software from Novell's rivals--Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino--will add GroupWise to its portfolio, letting users synchronize their in-the-office mail with that on their wireless device, as well as have their handheld's internal calendaring, do-to, and e-mail apps populated with data from GroupWise. On the device side, SureWave supports Palm OS, Microsoft's Windows Mobile, and the Symbian platform.
For its part, Intellisync pushed a new product at mobile operators. Dubbed Intellisync Mobile Suite for Wireless Operators, the software lets operators roll out synchronization services for customers using a variety of handheld or mobile phones. With support for devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and Smartphone, Palm OS, Symbian, and wireless tablet PCs and laptops--and designed to work over an array of wireless technologies, including CDMA, GSM/GPRS, EV-DO, Edge, and Wi-Fi--the suite pushes e-mail and other contact data from a user's copy of Outlook or Notes directly to the wireless device. The suite, which is currently in testing, will be generally available by the end of this month, said Intellisync.
