With the success of iPhone and the launch of Google's wireless sync services early this year the options to synchronise your mobile to ACT! have widened and sales of synchronising solutions for ACT! have increased. The dominance of the traditional operating systems; Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Symbian (Nokia) have been shaken by the huge surge in popularity of Apple iPhone, the free wireless sync from Google and their Android operating system. USB or cable connection is still the most popular, however wireless sync has become easier and cheaper.
