Funambol Bows Android Client
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — 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 versus proprietary
approaches.
“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.”
