S60 App: Automatically Sync Ovi Calendar, GooSync & All SyncML Calendars With Swim

I just recently found a new application called Swim, and it's really been saving my butt this week. It's a very simple application and brings functionality that Nokia should've implemented already. Nokia S60 devices such as the N82 allow you to set up SyncML configurations to keep your notes, calendar, and contacts in sync with compatible services such as GooSync, ScheduleWorld, & my favorite Ovi Calendar. The only problem WAS that you had to manually sync your calendars every time you make changes, instead of the N82 automatically performing the sync in the background periodically. Not Anymore!

This is where Swim comes in. It's a very simple application - but does it's job very well. It lets you automatically sync to your Ovi Calendar or other SyncML setup periodically. You can specify it to sync every 15 minutes, hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, and Daily. I currently have mine set to sync every 4 hours which is perfect. Keep in mind with services such as Ovi Calendar you can also sync your notes and contacts, allowing you to be able to edit all of this from any computer with an internet connection. Really handy!

Apparently there is a small bug right now that makes the sync happen every 30 minutes, which really isn't a big deal since it happens in the background and uses very little data. The developer has stated on his website that he is working on this bug and it will be fixed soon. Keep in mind this is the first release of the application.

Thanks to the S60 Developer Community the holes that Nokia leaves are resolved once again. If you think this application is as useful as I find it, leave a small donation with the developer so he can continue making it work better. Afterall, it's FREE!
