Synchronizing data between S60 devices
widianuser | 14 November, 2006 00:17
Today when I was browsing the Internet for the latest news on mobile ecosystem, I clicked some link and was thrown to s60.com. It had been quite a while since I last time visited that site and I must admit that there has been a major facelift for the site. My previous experience was that s60.com had just some generic S60 presentations copied from various Nokia websites, but after today's visit I'm sure I'll check that site more often to see how S60 is marketed to public.
One of the most interesting parts of the site were the blogs. There was an exciting entry about phone-to-phone synchronization, which I had thought is only for PIM data. However, users can synchronize any data between the terminals and - this is the best part - it easy for developers. Just write your files to C:DataNokia or E:Nokia to get them synchronized. Read the original entry for more details.
If this feature really works, I can see many possible cases where phone-to-phone synchronization can support and extend the phone-to-server sync. And nice thing is that it doesn't require complex server infrastructure to start experimenting.

Anyway, if you find this feature useful, please let me know!
