>HANDHELD DEVICES TO GET IN SYNC
>A number of well-known companies, including IBM, Nokia, Lotus, Motorola,
>Palm, and Starfish Software, have formed an alliance to develop an open
>universal standard that would make it easy for users of handheld computers
>to exchange calendars, e-mail, to-do lists and other data among different
>devices and different operating systems. The group is called SyncML, and the
>synchronization protocol it's develop will be based on XML, the "extensible
>markup language" which in turn is based on the HTML computer language used
>for presenting Web pages. (Reuters/22 Feb 2000)
