Mobile Tech News -- Better PIM for iPhone, Intellisync Discontinued, PocketPCTechs Discount

Pocket Informant Coming to the iPhone

As popular as the iPhone is, some have held back from buying it because of its relatively weak option for personal information management. These people should be please to hear that Web Information Solutions is working on a version of Pocket Informant for the iPhone.

Details are very sketchy at this point, but a company representative went to Apple's developer conference this week to talk to Apple about releasing software for this smartphone. 

Intellisync Being Discontinued

Intellisync, which was once a powerhouse of cross-platform synchronization, is being discontinued.

This suite of applications was bought by Nokia in 2005, and this company's website says that both the Standard and Enterprise Editions will only be sold through July 19. This will come with one year of support, or current users have the option of buying an additional year of support.

Nokia has merged many of the features of Intellisync into its applications for Symbian S60 smartphones, but the Palm OS and Windows Mobile versions are being discarded.
