Good Technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good Technology is a company providing Push e-mail products for mobile phone. The company started out building an MP3 attachment to the Handspring Visor under the brand of SpringThings. It later offered its own device to provide wireless email access to corporate users. The company markets software and service for synchronizing corporate email on a variety of devices, as well as a variety of other products targeted at the mobile enterprise worker formerly known as GoodLink. On November 10, 2006, Motorola acquired the then privately held company. On February 23, 2009, Motorola announced that it has agreed to sell Good Technology to rival push email provider, Visto. [1] During CTIA Wireless 2009, Visto announced that it had renamed itself Good Technology effectively taking the name of the former independent company. On May 27, 2009 Good Technology acquires Intercasting Corporation[2] to satisfy customers’ demand for social networking capabilities.
Its primary competitor is Research in Motion's BlackBerry and Nokia's Intellisync.
