Abstract
The present invention allows a user to synchronize a device with at least two data sources that may cross-pollinate. The user's device is used to shuttle changes between the sources and resolves conflicts when changes are made to an item on multiple sources concurrently. The user's device keeps track of which version of the item each sync source has and synchronizes each of the sources to the latest version of an item.
