<p>Synchronization devices (104), preferably available in kiosks at publicly accessible locations, are provided with at least one remote device interface (206). A user of a remote device (106) couples the remote device to the at least one remote device interface and the synchronization device thereafter initiates synchronization of remote data (120) found in the remote device with central data (122) found on at least one central device (110). Synchronization is performed by a synchronization application (112) that preferably resides on the at least one central device. The synchronization application provides synchronized data that may include, but is not limited to, contact data, calendar data, email, shared files and the like. The synchronization device updates the remote device and also routes the synchronized data to a printer (210) for printing. In this manner, the remote device user can obtain hardcopies of the synchronized data without having to be directly coupled to his or her local device. <IMAGE></p> |
