PIM Synchronization Mobile Gateway offers PIM synchronization (SyncML) using the built-in synchronization clients of a wide range of smartphones and feature phones. As an added value, Mobile Gateway also supports phones which would not usually be able to access synchronization services. The synchronization of key personal information, such as contacts and calendar entries, enables users to restore their phone data in the case of phone loss, damage or upgrade. PIM Push enables corporate users to have access to vital business information on their mobiles, thus ensuring that their staff are always up to date. Mobile Gateway supports contacts, calendar, and tasks synchronization on Microsoft Exchange, Sun Java Communications Suite, and Lotus Domino; accounts, contacts, and calendar on Gmail; contacts on Windows Live Hotmail. In addition to email accounts, Mobile Gateway can also feature an operator-branded PIM account which can be synchronized with SyncML-capable mobile phones. 1.3. Instant Messaging Mobile Gateway delivers instant messaging to a wide range of mobile phones by using the built-in instant messaging (OMA-IMPS) client available on many devices, allowing subscribers to stay connected to all their community friends without having to download additional software. Due to its industry-standard approach, Mobile Gateway supports all of the most popular instant messaging communities including ICQ, Google Talk, MSN / Windows Live Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook Chat, and any community which uses Jabber / XMPP. As a core feature, Mobile Gateway includes an XMPP IM server which can be customized to create an operator-branded mobile instant messaging community. In addition, fully brandable IM clients are available for Java-enabled handsets, as well as several smartphone platforms including the iPhone, Android devices, and Windows Mobile. 1.4.

Mobile Gateway supports the most popular social networking sites, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Users can update their Facebook status, keep up to date with their Facebook friends, and comment and post pictures. With Mobile Gateway, a user's mobile phone becomes their Facebook. Mobile Gateway access to LinkedIn network updates and Twitter tweets is also available. Updates can even be delivered from a wide range of existing social networking communities including operator-branded communities to any mobile phone. 1.5.
