Symbian today announced that it has licensed the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol for use in Symbian OS, and is to develop an Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol “plug-in” for the Symbian OS messaging architecture. The goal is to enable Symbian OS licensees to include direct over-the-air (OTA) synchronization capabilities for e-mail, calendar, contacts and other personal information management (PIM) data supported by Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
According to Symbian, the OS maker will render the Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol plug-in available to all Symbian OS licensees which, when coupled with a separate standard distribution agreement with Microsoft, enables the licensees, at their discretion, to implement direct synchronization capabilities with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. The terms of the licensing agreement between Symbian and Microsoft were not disclosed.
