 PROFILE
Starfish are bottom feeders that move slowly. Users of Starfish Software's TrueSync application probably have a different image of themselves. The company is a subsidiary of Motorola, which uses TrueSync in its cellular phones and pagers. TrueSync, which lets small devices share information with servers and PCs, is compatible with major wireless operating systems including Palm OS, Windows CE, Java, and Symbian. TrueSync for Yahoo! lets users wirelessly access data and e-mail. Starfish, which gets sales mainly from licensing fees and product development services, was founded by husband-wife team Philippe Kahn (a software pioneer who also founded Borland, now Inprise) and Sonia Lee (a graphic designer).
