Garmin has selected Pumatech's Intellisync Lite software to supply PIM-related synchronization capabilities for its new, iQue 3600 Palm OS PDA with integrated GPS technology.

Pumatech's Intellisync Lite software will be bundled with the iQue 3600 to offer synchronization of calendar, contact and task data between the new PDA and the Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Organizer software applications.

In addition to bundling Intellisync Lite with its new iQue 3600 PDA, Garmin currently integrates Pumatech's Intellisync synchronization engine into its NavTalk GSM phone, providing synchronization of address book information with Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, ACT! and Palm Desktop software.

Gary Kelley, Garmin's director of marketing, said "to maximize the utility of the iQue 3600, we felt it was essential to provide reliable synchronization between our PDA and the Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Organizer PIM applications. Pumatech's Intellisync Lite software delivers this solution by supplying our customers with a high level of out-of-the-box synchronization functionality that they can begin using right away."

Garmin iQue 3600 owners are entitled to upgrade to the full version of Intellisync for $49.95, a savings of $20.
