Nuevasync Releases Yahoo! Contacts Support

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Windows Phone News" @ 09:30 PM

David over at Nuevasync was kind enough to let me know about Nueva's Yahoo! Contacts sync feature a month or so ago when they were testing it. My reaction was (almost embarrassingly) "Yahoo! has contacts?". Yes, it has been a long time since I used Yahoo! Mail for anything and didn't realize that their address book had been fleshed out in recent years. If you're a Yahoo! lover or just user, and want to sync your Y! contacts with your Windows Mobile (or other Activesync compatible smartphone), Nueva has a new feature for you!

Nuevasync Now Supports Calendar to Category Mapping

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Windows Phone Software" @ 05:00 PM

"Windows Mobile/Windows Phone devices at present lack support for multiple calendars. NuevaSync has always allowed syncing of multiple Google calendars to these devices, but all the events were "merged" into the device's single calendar. NuevaSync users with Premium Service can now have the Google calendar for each event appear as a "category" on the device. This means that events from individual Google calendars can be selected for display on the phone. Also events created on the device can be assigned to a specific Google calendar."

One of my few complaints about the Nuevasync synchronization platform (a request actually) was the ability to map multiple Google Calendars to categories on my Windows Phone. Now I can do that with their latest upgrade. Add this to the Remote Wipe functionality I mentioned a few weeks ago, and you have a pretty nice sync solution!

Nuevasync Introduces Remote Wipe Functionality!

"NuevaSync Premium Service users can now remotely "wipe" their phone if it's lost or stolen. After enabling the feature on your account, the devices that are ready for remote wipe will be marked in the device management page on our web site."

David from Nuevasync was nice enough to drop me an e-mail to let me know about the new features they're rolling out now, including Remote Wipe. They've also got a few other goodies that will make power users quite happy on the way, so make sure you stay tuned. A great example of a product filling a niche and doing it extremely well, Nuevasync is well worth the small yearly price for premium!

NuevaSync Adds Task Sync Support!

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC News" @ 11:30 AM

"To sync tasks you need a compatible device (iPhones don't have tasks support yet but Windows Mobile, Nokia and Palm Pre phones do). Register for a Toodledo account (free or pro). Enable and configure tasks on our web site---enter your Toodledo username and password."

A few months ago I wrote about NuevaSync's Push GMail Solution which beat out Google's official support for GMail through Exchange ActiveSync by quite a few months. Now that Google has caught up, NuevaSync has again decided to up the ante by adding Tasks support! The catch is - the tasks sync isn't with Google Tasks (Since it's pretty bare bones and doesn't have a published API), it's with a task managing service named Toodledo!

I hadn't used Toodledo before so I signed up this morning and tried it out - and I'm pretty impressed. I can now manage my tasks from the cloud (even from within GMail thanks to the Labs "Add a gadget" feature), and have them synced on my device. Oh yea - Toodledo also has a native Android client! So if you're a Google user or cloud patron that just wants to keep his or her to-do list in check, take a look at Nueva's latest premium offering!

NuevaSync: Google + Windows Mobile in Sync Harmony

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC Software" @ 05:00 AM

Earlier this week, synchronization service NuevaSync announced their latest addition to the platform, push e-mail. NuevaSync already had calendar & contact sync from Google to Windows Mobile, iPhone, and pretty much any platform that supports the Microsoft Activesync protocol. Since I've been using Google for the last month or so (in lieu of my exchange server), I thought it may be interesting to give this service a shot. After all, only $25 for a year of service isn't too pricey (.002 cents per hour if you want to think of it that way...).

The first thing you notice about NuevaSync is it's no-frills website. This makes it mobile friendly, and still usable on the desktop. Their site was a bit disjointed (with a Wiki and Blog loosely linked up, with recent navigation improvements) but it gets the job done. After upgrading to Premium (for $25 a year), you can access the e-mail action. This is where you link up your IMAP e-mail account. Any IMAP server that supports the IDLE command should work just fine with their service, and they have an express setup option for GMail users. Contacts & Calendar set up easily as well, and as a premium user you can select which Google Calendars you want to sync with your device. Read more...
