Extended Systems' data synchronization and management software, XTNDConnect Server, will support the Sony Ericsson Symbian-based P800 smartphone.

Extended Systems' support for the P800 will give enterprise users access to corporate data, including email, calendar, contacts and tasks from MS Exchange and Lotus Notes environments. Users can email pictures, share contacts and manage their calendar wirelessly or through a cable connection.

According to the comapny, the client software combined with XTNDConnect Server gives IT departments the capability to manage the Sony Ericsson P800 along with Palm, Pocke tPC/Windows CE, SyncML and other Symbian devices already existing within the enterprise. "The ability to support Symbian is a key requirement for many Global 2000 companies and one of many factors that differentiates Extended Systems from its competitors," said Extended Systems CEO and President Steve Simpson. "With this announcement, Extended Systems further demonstrates cross-platform, global support for popular mobile and wireless devices."

Server-based synchronization support for the Sony Ericsson P800 is slated to be available from Extended Systems this spring. A beta is available for existing XTNDConnect Server customers.
