Thanks to those of you who PM'd me offering to help test. You should have received an email from me with further information. If not, let me know.

Also, if anyone else is interested in testing, PM me.

Thanks,

-Josh

I've made a quite a bit of progress on this! Thanks to those who have already helped, check out the current version: http://www.chronobis.com

Still looking for a few more beta testers.

This would be great for me (even just calendar although tasks and contacts would be a plus). I also have one of those paranoid IT groups that will not allow any connection of any sort to their equipment except blackberry, so no active synch period. I've been using this cumbersome work around of exporting my desktop outlook calendar file at the end of the day, importing it into Google Calendar, then using a goo-synchish app on my mogul to get that into my pocket outlook calendar. What a waste of time~~~~

We use exchange server 2003

Looking forward to trying this!

You can download it from the site now. Enjoy.

Also, started a new thread to announce the open BETA:

I am looking for a solution to my IT department's bias for RIM and 2 factor (RSA SecurID) authentication when using OWA.

Can anyone provide suggestions? I am new to the PPCGeek-dom

Well IT departments' biases toward RIM was the main reason I wrote Chronobis.

So to log into OWA you have to get a token password from a hardware device, in addition to your normal password? If so, that's a difficult problem, the best you could hope for would be entering in your hardware token each time you synchronized.

Well, I'd like other opinions, but I think it is working quite well. I've been using it to download my calendar for a long time now. Recently just added smartphone support, task download support, and soon will be adding contact download support. I suppose the next thing on the enhancement list will be tackling two-way synchronization.

This sounds really interesting.

One question - I currently sync ActiveSync OTA with my exchange server. I am interested in this so that I can sync with two other exchange servers, however I am wondering how the PPC keeps the calendar items separate.

For example, I have all of my Exchange Server 1 stuff on my PPC. Then I use this App to sync Calendar Items from Exchange Server 2 on to my PPC. Does the PPC keep these newly inserted Exchange Server 2 items from then syncing to Exchange Server 1?

Best regards,

Unlike email accounts, the calendar is a single folder. Meaning that AS would most likely synchronize everything in it. Tasks are the same way.

Once I get around to two-way synchronization I'm planning making it where you can define synchronization by categories, but that is a ways off right now.

Also, on the future plans is multiple account support. Again, probably a ways off right now.
