Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which control information provided to a pervasive computing device when the pervasive computing device synchronizes with a data processing system by defining a list of environments associated with the pervasive computing device and associating information items to be provided to the pervasive computing device by the data processing system with environments in the list of environments. User input is obtained at the pervasive computing device selecting an environment and the data processing system notified of the selected environment. The information items associated with the selected environment are then provided from the data processing system to the pervasive computing device responsive to notification of the selected environment.
