"Handsets from Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola almost all ship with an OMA DS client for data synchronization, which is the basis for the O3sis product, so in their case we just have to activate and configure that client over the air... For Windows Mobile phones, which don’t, we’ll download a client to the handset...
The addition of backup and restore capabilities to its platform follows on the announcement last month of an agreement with mobile AV vendor SMobile to integrate its technology into the InnoPath platform. 'AV for mobiles is different from desktop stuff, because the latter can be a pull service, whereas in cellular you want to avoid unnecessary traffic, so you program it to be a push, only when there is a specific signature for a new threat,' said Ashkenazi.
He stressed, furthermore, that the deals are not exclusive. 'We’re a platform company, so we can integrate with other backup and restore or mobile AV products if a customer asks us to.'"
