LAS VEGAS, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase, Inc. , a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, and HTC Corp. (TAIEX:2498; "HTC"), the world's leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smart devices, today announced the formation of a global alliance. The companies are teaming on strategic business, engineering and marketing initiatives designed to deliver optimized Sybase iAnywhere mobility software on HTC devices.
