Funambol For Linux

Funambol is open source mobile application server software that provides push email, address book and calendar (PIM) data synchronization, application provisioning, and device management for wireless devices and PCs, leveraging standard protocols. For users, this means BlackBerry-like capabilities on commodity handsets.

This project is also a software development platform for mobile applications. It provides client and server side Java APIs, and facilitates the development, deployment and management of any mobile project. Funambol is the de facto standard implementation of the Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization and Device Management protocols (OMA DS and DM, formerly known as SyncML).

Here are some key features of "Funambol":

· Funambol Data Synchronization Server: a mobile application server providing synchronization services for wireless clients and PCs, including push email. · Funambol Device Management: an OMA DM server to remotely manage mobile devices. · Funambol Connectors: gateways to file systems, databases, email systems, and applications for two-way synchronization with existing data assets. · Funambol Client Plug-ins: protocol extenders and clients for Outlook, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Palm and iPod so users can synchronize their email messages and PIM data (address book, calendar, tasks and notes) with the server. · Funambol Software Development Kit: tools to develop sometimes-connected mobile applications on devices (in Java - J2SE and J2ME - and C++) and to add data sources to the server.
