====Wireless synchronization==== Some PDAs can synchronize some or all of their data using their wireless networking capabilities, rather than having to be directly connected to a personal computer via a cable. Devices running Palm's [[webOS]] or Google's [[Android (operating system)|Android operating system]] primarily sync with the [[Cloud computing|cloud]]. For example, if [[Gmail]] is used, information in contacts, email, and calendars can be synchronized between the PDA and Google's servers. RIM sold [[BlackBerry Enterprise Server]] to corporations so that corporate BlackBerry users could wirelessly synchronize their PDAs with the company's [[Microsoft Exchange Server]], IBM [[Lotus Domino]], or [[Novell GroupWise]] servers.<ref>{{cite web |title=BlackBerry β Enterprise Server β BlackBerry BES Server |url=http://us.blackberry.com/business/software/bes/overview.html |access-date=21 August 2010 |publisher=Research in Motion |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120713073104/http://us.blackberry.com/business/software/bes/overview.html |archive-date=13 July 2012 }}</ref> Email, calendar entries, contacts, tasks, and memos kept on the company's server are automatically synchronized with the BlackBerry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://us.blackberry.com/business/software?LID=us:bb:software:businesssoftware&LPOS=us:bb:software|title=BlackBerry β Business Software Features|publisher=Research in Motion|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120416171116/http://us.blackberry.com/business/software?LID=us:bb:software:businesssoftware&LPOS=us:bb:software|archive-date=2012-04-16|access-date=21 August 2010}}</ref>
