Oracle Calendar Sync synchronizes Oracle Calendar data with PDA devices using either Palm OS for Windows and Macintosh, or Windows CE. This enables you to download meetings, contacts, daily notes, day events, holidays and tasks to your handheld, and updates can be uploaded back to Oracle Calendar through the device's synchronization process. This takes Personal Digital Assistant functionality one step further, allowing direct synchronization with the data on the server rather than the data on the desktop. Oracle Calendar Sync replaces the desktop application with a conduit directly linked to the calendar store. Oracle Calendar Sync's Preferences menu enables you to customize the amount of information that is synchronized, as well as download attendee lists and meeting details.
