Funambol, rival OpenSource of MobileMe for iPhone and iPod Touch!

App Blind, Application, Mail in February 3rd, on 2009

I discovered Funambol at instant or I searched an alternative in Outlook to synchronise and to safeguard my contacts gift on my iPod Touch before my migration on my iPhone 3G.
Indeed, contacts of the iPod Touch and of the iPhone cannot (errors excepted in my part) only synchronise with Outlook or Motive

Software works very simply by synchronising between the iPhone and the remote server.
My mobile operator (sfr) offers me a maintenance of my card sim on their server but this service is invoiced 50 hundreds to every operation.

Funambol is a software of mobile synchronisation OpenSource allowing the synchronisation of data such as an address book, a calendar or of emails, between several computers and/or portable peripherals (iPod PocketPC, Smartphone,). He is therefore part of software of type PIM (Personal Information Manager), acronym which indicates by extension managed personal data.

Funambol is available free on the App Blind: funamabol on the App Blind.

The society accommodates its own servers for synchronisation via, compatible with Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. CEO, Fabrizio Capobianco asserts:

From now on with the kit of development and the launching of the new iPhone on July 11th, our product of synchronisation is ready. He will be a rival OpenSource of MobileMe who is closed to him and coute 99 $.

Software does not synchronise files and photos but since it is OpenSource nothing prevents developers from including into it other functionality over.

Funambol understands:

  • a server of synchronisation of data (Dated Synchronization Server),
  • a server of management of the mobile peripherals (Device Management Server),
  • connector cables allowing correlation with systems of files, databases or of third applications,
  • from plug-ins to synchronise data since clients who can be applications (Outlook, Thunderbird) or mobile peripherals (PocketPC, BlackBerry),
  • a kit of development to create applications customers (plug-ins) or to add functionality to the server..

Personally speaking I invite everybody to test and to use this (free) application to synchronise and to safeguard your contacts of your iPod Touch and of your iPhone!

    Personally I use Plaxo (http://plaxo.com) to stock my contacts.
    And to synchronise Plaxo with my iPhone, I use NuevaSync (https://nuevasync.com) which is an interface PlaxoMicrosoft Exchange. I use so the " Push " service  of synchronisation of contacts included into the iPhone.

    I would just point out that this solution is not an alternative in what is introduced in this post because during the first synchronisation all contacts recorded in the iPhone are abolished. It has therefore to be the book Plaxo which is supplied well.

    I used Funambol for months but the syncho became often unavailable. I passed to Plaxo (who uses Funambol in pence software layer) with the synchro via nuevasync.
    This last solution is more fluid and more efficient

    They indeed can, collect information, but no more than MobileMe or other one.

    And there remains solution to create his Funambol server, and her having finished problem of paranoia

    Funambol is OpenSource what is enough in general for me has prove that drank them sales and marketing people is noble
