Rivals PalmOne and Microsoft appear to have cast aside their differences, as the handheld maker licenses an e-mail synchronization tool from the software giant.
PalmOne said Tuesday that it has signed a deal to license Microsoft's Exchange Server ActiveSync protocol, which the handheld maker said will help provide secure delivery of e-mail to upcoming versions of its Treo smart phones. Milipitas, Calif.-based PalmOne said it will use the software to extend support for Microsoft Exchange corporate e-mail products by adding the capability for wireless server synchronization. Financial terms of the deal were not released.
