SyncML, the syncing technology that almost all mobile phones have support for, yet very few people know about and use, will be coming to Google contacts within a month. Google Calender support is questionable at this point in time. Supposedly this is for Google to offer MobileMe like services for the iPhone, but I’m thinking this is more about Google trying to get the rest of their body through the door that leads to the mobile industry. All those J2ME applications, Android and now this? Something is brewing in California and it isn’t the premium coffee Googlers get for free.

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    Thanks for the link, Stefan… I agree, this is less iPhone-specific and more to do with their general growth within mobile. Perhaps it came out of some iPhone-targeted work, but hey, the beauty of standards :P
