Google licenses ActiveSync from Microsoft
Yesterday Google announced a new beta version of it’s sync tools using Microsoft’s ActiveSync technology allowing phones to sync contacts and calenders using push technology to Google Apps/Gmail, much like how the G1 operates – email however still has to use an IMAP connection. Immediately I ran into the problem of already having an existing ActiveSync connection to my work server so can’t make use of the new service from Google but if you don’t then it’s worth checking out rather than having to use third party tools like Spanning Sync to grab your calendar/contacts from Google.
