A synchronization apparatus and method are provided that operate to increase the synchronization speed between a first processing device and a second processing device when at least one of the devices includes a static index type database. The synchronization apparatus includes a first device that forwards a request containing a unique identifier (including a static index amended to a "true" unique identifier) to a second device which then directly accesses the information in a desired record by utilizing a static identifier extracted from the forwarded unique identifier. Thereafter, the second device forwards the accessed information to the first device so that the two devices can be synchronized to store the same information. The first device and the second device can be implemented in, for example, a wireless handset, a computer, a personal digital assistant or a pager. |
