Why would I choose Oracle Mobile Data Sync instead of Oracle Calendar Sync?
Although they both use the same synchronization engine, Oracle Mobile Data Sync and Oracle Calendar Sync differ in their transportability. Oracle Calendar Sync requires a physical connection from the cradle to your corporate network, while Oracle Mobile Data Sync has no dependency on wired connections or corporate networks. Oracle Calendar Sync desktop PDA software replaces your device’s sync conduits, allowing you to synchronize your PDA with the Calendar server through a physical connection to a LAN or VPN network. Oracle Mobile Data Sync synchronizes over any HTTP connection, removing dependency on physical connections and allowing full synchronization wherever an HTTP connection is available — whether physical or wireless. If you are a very mobile worker and would benefit from anywhere, anytime synchronization, Oracle Mobile Data Sync may be your preferred option.
