Symbian Limited announced the licensing of the Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol from Microsoft, which will be offered as a plug-in for Symbian OS. The Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol plug-in will enable users to make direct synchronization of email, calendar, contacts and other personal information management (PIM) data supported by Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 over-the-air. This license coupled with a separate standard distribution agreement with Microsoft, allows Symbian OS licensees to implement direct synchronization capabilities with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 in their selected Symbian OS devices.
