Instant messaging means “point-to-point
messaging” between Wireless Village users.
Messages can be sent to an entire contact list or to
a single user. Short message histories of the
communication are logged in a file, which can be
read off line. This is a sub-set file of the whole
communication and is limited by memory.
Groups
The user may join a chatroom and chat with the

What is SyncML?
SyncML is the common language for synchronizing
all devices and applications over any network.
SyncML leverages Extensible Markup Language
(XML), making SyncML a truly future-proof
platform. With SyncML any personal information,
such as calendars, task lists, contact information
and other relevant data, will be consistent,
accessible and up to date, no matter where the
information is stored. For example, a calendar entry
made to a mobile device on a business trip is
equally available to a secretary in a network
calendar. SyncML is the ultimate choice for remote
synchronization.
