Good, Microsoft form handheld alliance
C|Net | at | by Mike
Handheld-software maker Good Technology is forming an alliance with Microsoft as it tries to increase the number of devices on which its applications can run. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based start-up will work with Microsoft to make Good's software compatible with Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 operating system. Good's GoodLink software lets customers wirelessly access e-mail and corporate data from a handheld device. The Microsoft partnership is similar to an arrangement Good made with PalmSource last week. PalmSource controls the other major operating system for handhelds, the Palm OS.
