It’s been nearly two years since we’ve launched wireless sync (over-the-air) for popular mobile platforms like BlackBerry. The newest phones ship with more memory and faster processors. Wireless data connections are faster as well. We’d like to tap into all this new technology to see how CompanionLink can improve our software and services.
Our engineers are working on ways to make our wireless sync protocol more robust. Stay tuned for more details on what you can expect.
At CES 2009 in Las Vegas, Palm announced their new mobile operating system called Palm webOS. They also unveiled the first smartphone based on that OS – Palm Pre. You can read about it here.
CompanionLink will provide full two-way sync support for Palm webOS based devices, including the Palm Pre. We’re committed to being the first to do so!
DoubleLook Enterprise will soon be able to sync ACT! directly with Exchange 2007. Our new technology will be a little different than what we have right now. We will be able to run DoubleLook Enterprise on a separate machine (not your Exchange Server). This will allow your IT department to leave Exchange alone (you’re welcome!).
Exchange 2007 has some new features and protocols that have allowed us to make the sync much faster than the existing version. If you’d like to be a part of the BETA testing for this enterprise solution, send an email to marketing@companionlink.com with “DLE Exchange 2007 BETA” in the subject line.
The latest versions of CompanionLink allow you to sync ACT! User Fields and ACT! User-defined Fields to Google contact notes. This was requested by a number of users, so we added this functionality in.
BlackBerry Storm users will need to update their CompanionLink Express or CompanionLink Pro software to version 3042 or later. The update addresses a change in the new version of the operating system – BlackBerry OS 4.7 – that ships on BlackBerry Storm devices.
The update is only required if you have a BlackBerry Storm phone. You do not need the update if your current version of the software is working with your phone.

BlackBerry Bold users will need to update their CompanionLink Express or CompanionLink Pro software to version 3041 or later. The update addresses a change in the new version of the operating system – BlackBerry OS 4.6 – that ships on BlackBerry Bold devices.
The update is only required if you have a BlackBerry Bold phone. You do not need the update if your current version of the software is working for you.

Users who want to get their Microsoft Outlook contacts on their T-Mobile G1 phones can use CompanionLink. In addition to synchronizing contacts, CompanionLink can sync Outlook calendar events, recurring appointments, tasks, and alarms and reminders with Google Android phones (like the T-Mobile G1).
