Our approach to syncing with Outlook is to create an integrated solution, complete with an Outlook plugin. This way you will be able to access Viira full feature set from Outlook - and not just the tasks.

So while Viira 2 does not do a full sync with Outlook, our Viira Outlook Suite is based on the Viira 2 feature set and will have full Outlook compatibility. And of course we will provide a full upgrade path and purchase credit for anyone who has bought the full version of Viira 2.

As the launch is coming soon, we just created a sign-up form. If you want us to let you know when the Viira Outlook suite is ready for download, put your name and email down and you will be among the first ones to know:

Glad to hear that you are enjoying Viira!

Initially it was actually our intention to make Viira tasks appear in the BB tasks list. However poor performance of the device’s tasks database made it challenging to do this in a scalable fashion. Sadly, the BB PIM API has its oddities and bugs, and often times it does not perform well under a reasonable load.

Viira is designed to hold hundreds or thousands of tasks effortlessly, and for the sake of keeping its performance we felt we had to scale back our integration efforts with the BB tasks database. This issue has been raised a few times now though and we are actively working on finding a solution.

I hope this sheds some light on our design decision and the trade-offs we had to make.
