Mobile Cloud Synchronization

Smartphones are proliferating, with people storing more data, media and apps on their phones than ever before.

At the same time, smartphones are becoming more indistinguishable, with similar features such as touchscreens and wifi. Even though mobile operators are selling lots of hot devices, it is no guarantee of profits or user loyalty.

There are now billions of other mobile devices, such as e-readers, mp3 players, game consoles and cameras -- that connect to the Internet. They contain diverse data and media -- contacts, calendars, email, photos, files, video and social content -- to store, sync and share. Social networking is surpassing email as a mainstay of personal messaging. And cloud computing is gaining as a way to store data remotely and perform distributed computing.

When it comes to mobile, open is the new closed. Devices, operating systems, browsers, middleware, networks and backend systems are all opening up. In sum, data and content is increasingly found in many places, and users want to access it regardless of location. Mobile operators and device makers are finding it harder to differentiate. Compelling mobile services are the answer.
