Tipper v1.1 - A tip calculator for the iPhone TimeCapsule v0.40b5 - A iPhone local backup app
Jun 11

myFunambol is a service that let’s you wirelessly sync your contacts, calendar, tasks and notes between your iPhone and almost any other device (Outlook, pocketpc, smartphone, ipod) . Funambol will soon offer push-mail and push calendar features much like the new Mobile.me service that Apple announced at WWDC 2008. Funambol isn’t a new service, the have already 1.500.000.000 phones using the free service!
You can access the service via 2 ways. Either via safari by browsing to my.funambol.com/iPhone or via the iPhone native version that is currently limited to only support contact syncing but soon we will see the calendar, tasks and notes integrated in the app and hopefully push services too.
The official site states:

  • Wirelessly sync contacts from other phones, over-the-air, to myFUNAMBOL. myFUNAMBOL would then contain the contacts from other phones.
  • Wirelessly sync contacts from Outlook (or other email clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird) to myFUNAMBOL.
  • Access and use these contacts on the iPhone.

The way it works is very easy. Subscribe on the my.funambol site. Await and confirm the registration mail. Download the Outlook plugin. Sync you contacts, calendar and notes. And install the native iPhone or iPod touch client.

The iPhone client is very intuitive to use, you only have 4 buttons. (sync all, sync contacts, sync calendar, sync tasks and sync notes (the later 3 are not yet supported).

Native jailbroken version.

This little app is available in the Installer.app through the STE packaging source, see our sources page.

      It’s not just for the iPhone either. The service is built on what used to be called sync4j. It looks like it is a really great service and now that I have a phone that supports Funambol again, I am using it and it nice knowing that backup is there. It’s also convenient to be able to enter things online and have it sync with my phone. A real time saver.

        Sounds great, but when is it ready? Specifically, when will tasks and notes sync between outlook and the iPhone?
