Starfish Software is the company that makes products like TrueSync that used to be available from Yahoo to sync your "My Yahoo" content with Outlook and other PIM applications.
"Pumatech, provider of mobile synchronisation technology, has agreed to acquire rival Starfish Software, a Motorola subsidary, for an undisclosed amount. Motorola bought Starfish in 1998, also as part of an undisclosed deal, four years after it was founded by Phillipe Kahn. Starfish is one of the founding members of the SyncML initiative, now part of OMA, which defines an open, XML-based standard for sharing PIM data across virtually any network and any device. Pumatech supports SyncML in its products for mobile enterprise synchronisation and the sync technology it provides to partners for inclusion in their own services."
