Attention News Editors:

jSyncManager.org announces first beta release of the jSyncManager 3.0
Palm Hand-held Synchronization API for Java

TORONTO, 15 May 2003 - The jSyncManager.org development team announced
today the release of the first beta of their jSyncManager Application
Programming Interface v3.0.  The API set, written for Sun Microsystem's
Java runtime environment, allows developers to create applications that
can leverage data on PalmOS based hand-held devices on a variety of
computing platforms.

"One of the great things about the jSyncManager API is that it allows
synchronization and data management applications for PalmOS-based
hand-held devices to be run virtually anywhere", said Brad Barclay,
lead
developer and project administrator for the jSyncManager.org Project.
"The same synchronization applications and logic can be run on Windows,
UNIX, OS/2, Linux, and MacOS operating systems.  Anywhere Java can be
run, the jSyncManager API can be used".

The jSyncManager API includes a full PalmOS-compatible protocol stack,
data synchronization engine, and a plug-in architecture allowing the
engine to be dynamically bound to other applications and databases,
called jConduits.

	The jSyncManager is licensed under the GNU Lesser General
Public
License, allowing individuals and organizations to use, modify, and
redistribute the library with their own applications and tools free of
charge.  "We feel the LGPL gives potential users of our library a wider
range of choices as to how they use that library than with traditional,
closed-source licenses", said Barclay.  "We've already had a number of
companies approach us interested in using our library in their own
applications to provide robust, stable hand-held synchronization
facilities to their users".

	Since its inception in 1997, The jSyncManager.org Project has
sought to
bring high-quality, cross platform data synchronization solutions to
individual and enterprise users.  Since 2002, the project has been
available as Open Source, and has received contributions and support
from dozens of individuals and major corporations.
