Android Calendar Sync Keeps You On Time
While the tablet PC was originally conceived as a consumer device, it has found increasingly greater acceptance in business and enterprise circles. And with that acceptance comes the need for greater integration into things like hosted exchange email and the larger Exchange ActiveSync environment. It also demands greater and easier access to productivity apps, including a calendar that is always up-to-date and freshly synced.
Luckily, the burgeoning market of Android tablets have all of these things. Google has been actively and rapidly developing its Android mobile operating system over the past several years and has improved its integration with Exchange ActiveSync with each successive release. This hard work paid off with its most recent release, Android 2.2 “Froyo,” in that all ActiveSync account aspects are integrated and synced seamlessly — including the calendar, contacts, and email. Google has even included an easy setup wizard so that every setting can be changed with ease.
While hosted exchange email has always been relatively easy on Android, the new scheduling features are a boon to the operating system and an indication that Google is ready and willing to do business with business people. On Samsung’s newly-released flagship tablet device, called the Galaxy Tab, a full-scale (and full-screen) calendar application is provided that pulls all calendar data from your Exchange ActiveSync account. This data can then be viewed in a number of ways, from a daily agenda to a five-day or even thirty-day planner.
The Galaxy Tab, like its Android tablet competitors from Acer and other companies, can also remind you up important upcoming events, either through the Android tablet email application or via on-screen notifications in Android’s convenient notification bar. Because Android tablet email and the calendar application integrate so tightly, events can be forwarded to email contacts or automatically added to group calendars. And, Android’s support of push syncing means that any changes to the calendar on an Android tablet are immediately synced to the cloud and reflected in your Exchange calendars and on any other devices set to sync with your Exchange ActiveSync account.
Simply put, owning an Android tablet device is an easy way to carry your agenda with you at all times. If one drawback exists in Android’s calendaring an Exchange syncing, it is that it completely eliminates all excuses for showing up late to a meeting, soccer game, or dinner party. With push syncing, email reminders, and on-screen notifications (with alert sounds), Android does a good job of keeping the day moving in a timely, Cheap Alli Online seamless fashion.
