NewBay Software Launches Developer Program for Mobile SyncML; NewBay's FonePIM Developer Program is a Free Online Test Service Designed to Reduce Time to Market and Development Costs for Mobile SyncML Clients.DUBLIN, Ireland -- NewBay Software, a leading developer of mobile data services, today announced availability of the first mobile SyncML program that is uniquely designed for developers to test SyncML v1.1.2 and v1.2 clients. NewBay's FonePIM Developer Program is a free online service where developers can test their SyncML clients and view status, logs and other system information against the FonePIM server. This program is uniquely designed to reduce time to market and development costs for all SyncML clients. NewBay's FonePIM Developer Program enables developers to instantly test SyncML mobile clients against a live FonePIM service. FonePIM is a carrier grade mobile synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. solution which is proven to support millions of simultaneous syncs and 99.999% availability. FonePIM Developer Program saves both time and money by eliminating the need to download, install or configure See configuration.

Registration is free to qualified developers at http://www.tryfonepim.com/developer. "All developers of SyncML clients must test their implementation against a SyncML server. With NewBay's FonePIM Developer Program, companies no longer need to waste time configuring their own SyncML server, instead they can immediately start testing with the added advantage of receiving real time reports and valuable debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. data," said Caelen King, VP Product Management at NewBay Software.
The FonePIM Developer Program provides:
1. Server side error logs highlighting to developers where their code
is failing;
2. Full transcripts of each synchronization allowing developers to
scrutinize their protocol implementation;
3. Roll back functionality that enables developers to revert to a
prior state, so they can repeat a test exactly, pinpointing the
impact of their code changes;
4. A resource centre with full access to standards and discussion
whitepapers;
5. The framework to establish a SyncML developer community with FAQs
and direct interaction via a message board;
Coming soon:
6. A suite of online developer tools including reference client,
vCard parser and builders;
7. A connection to an SMSC for sending network initiated
synchronization requests.
