CompanionLinkSoftware, a vendor in the data synchronization between wireless mobile devices and desktop contact manager space, hasannounced DejaOffice version 1.9 of its CRM contact management app for Android (News - Alert)-powered devices.

DejaOffice, according to company officials, provides “business-class contacts, calendar, tasks and notes apps for Android. The free update includes new productivity, usability features and a split-pane view optimized for tablet devices like the Samsung (News - Alert) Galaxy Tab.”

The new version 1.9 includes such updates as an onboard Setup Wizard to help configure PC sync with Android in under two minutes, priority styles for tasks -- Outlook Style, Palm Style, Alpha (Franklin Covey) Style -- Wi-Fi sync with PC using CompanionLink, easy call and text message buttons in the contacts view, a calendar year-view and contact pictures.

DejaOffice 1.9 adds many usability improvements that make the phone as productive and intelligent as PC contact management software. DejaOffice delivers the ability to link contacts to calendar appointments, manage color-coded categories, and attach alarms and alerts to calendar events and tasks.

In July TMC’s (News - Alert) Divya Narain wrote that the Portland, Oregon-based company unveiled two-way synchronization between PCs and the Motorola DROID X.

“CompanionLink will now synchronize -- both through direct USB sync and wireless sync -- contacts, calendar, tasks and notes between DROID X and PC software such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Business Contact Manager, IBM (News - Alert) Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise, Palm Desktop, and ACT! by Sage,” she wrote at the time, adding that DejaOffice, an Android app, aids direct USB sync with DROID X by providing contact-manager-like address book, calendar, tasks and notes apps.

The DejaOfficeapp is currently available at no cost from the Android Market. More information is available at.

Optional software from CompanionLink allows DejaOffice to sync with PC software like Microsoft (News - Alert) Outlook, IBM Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise, Microsoft Outlook Business Contact Manager, ACT! by Sage and Palm Desktop.
