October 05 World's first Open Source Mobile Sync App comingFunambol posted a press release stating that they have made the world's
first Open Source Mobile Sync App for the T-Mobile G1 and Android OS. They say world's first because as you may know Apple has a Mobile Sync App for the Iphone.
It's called MobileMe. But as you guessed it ain't free. Apple charges
almost $100 a year, for the service, which allows you to sync your
calendar, contacts, emails, and other .mac related programs to your
iphone device.
According to Funambol, [quote]"Funambol Inc., the leading provider of open source push email and mobile sync for the mass market, today announced the world's first open source mobile sync app for the Android G1 phone from T-Mobile USA. The Funambol Android Client syncs contacts from a Google gPhone with a Funambol Server. Funambol Android Client provides an open source Mobile'We' capability for gPhones to make it easy for users to sync and share contacts from other mobile phones as well as from popular desktop apps such as MS Outlook and webmail such as Yahoo!, Gmail and AOL. The software was developed by the Funambol community, which demonstrates the speed at which an open source development model can support the latest mobile handsets "The Google Phone is a great example of how the mobile industry is embracing open source, but at the same time, it's also more open for Google than other software and services," said Fabrizio Capobianco, Funambol CEO. "Our Funambol Android Client adds a Mobile'We' capability to help gPhones realize their open source potential by enabling them to sync a wide range of content with virtually any source."
