[July 07, 2011] Laplink Launches New Technology to Reshape Category Tweet Jul 07, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Laplink Software, Inc. announced enhanced sync technology with a promise to "reinvent sync." According to a release, Laplink also released the first product based on this technology, Laplink Switch & Sync making it easier than ever to sync multiple PCs and Macs. Also included is a free transfer utility to automatically switch from a PC to a Mac. Laplink's new sync technology will allow users of multiple devices to automatically keep all files up-to-date over the air or across a cable without the limitations of a "sync container" like Dropbox or SugarSync. The new interface provides a streamlined user experience across all computers, tablets, smartphones and similar devices. Unlike other software, Laplink noted that its technology is a complete sync solution. Users define what to sync rather than copying files to separate folders to be shared across multiple devices. This approach allows for a seamless experience and ensures the user is in complete control at all times. "We have seen a boom in electronic devices over the past year and expect this trend will accelerate," commented Laplink CTO Jack Wilson. "Laplink has always been synonymous with synchronization with multiple patents granted for sync-related technology over the past 20 years. Now we are reinventing sync for the current generation of devices and user scenarios." To start with, supported platforms include Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7 but Laplink plans to add a universal sync function for compatibility with cameras, mp3 players and even TVs. Plus, there will be a "cloud-sync" option to provide users with even more freedom and accessibility. Laplink is a provider in PC migration, file transfer, synchronization and remote access.
