Blogger Bink.nu doesn’t know why Microsoft gave its up-and-coming peer-to-peer data synchronization service the code-name of Harmonica. But the blogger quotes Mary Jo Foley’s post on the topic. She seemed to understand Harmonica as ….
“some kind of `multi-master mesh’ that will underlie everything from the Zune to small-business services. It supposedly is what will allow users to synchronize their photos, email, documents, music and video across applications.”
The gossip is that plans for Harmonica include a developer kit and consumer-facing apps such as file-sync utilities.
