InternetNews | at | by Mike
British mobile phone software maker Symbian has agreed to license synchronization software from longtime rival Microsoft in an attempt to increase its number of enterprise customers.
The London-based company said the agreement will allow users of smartphones that run on its operating system, an estimated 20 million devices, to wirelessly receive e-mail through network computers that run on Microsoft's Exchange Server software. ActiveSync will also let users access calendars, contacts and other personal-information tools.
