Z-push

Z-push is an implementation of the ActiveSync protocol which are used ' over-the-air ' for multi platform ActiveSync devices, including Windows Mobile, IPhone, Android, Sony Ericsson and Nokia Mobile devices. With Z-push any groupware can is connected and synced with these devices.

Mobile data synchronization is becoming increasingly important for many people, and various standards has arisen to PERFO RM This two-way copying ' over-the-air '. The most important platforms so can do wireless synchronisation be ActiveSync that's used to communicate with Exchange Server and Research-in-motion ' s BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). Both Solutions require proprietary Server-side software from the vendor, therefore limiting the use of PIMs (personal info Rmation managers) to either wired synchronization or irritating 3rd-party synchronizers requiring the installation of Clie NT software on the PDA.

This is the where Open source Z-push comes in; It is an implementation of Microsoft ' s ActiveSync protocol which are used ' over-the-air ' for multi platform Active sync dev ICES, including Windows Mobile and active sync used on Apple's IPhone, Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones. Open source Z-push enables any php-based groupware package to become fully syncable with any activesync-compliant device.

Being an opensource project under the GPL, it allows developers to add their own backend so that Z-push can communicate WI Th their groupware solution.

Currently, Z-push is available with four backends:the IMAP and the Maildir backend for e-mail synchronisation, the VCard Backend for contact synchronisation and one for the ZARAFA package which allows full synchronization of e-mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks. We expect that other backends arise in the the OpenSource community gets the grips with the new Possibiliti Es.
