Following the unveiling of the iPhone 3G, Funambol announced that it has enhanced its native open source wireless sync app for iPhone 2.0 firmware. The application uses the new iPhone 2.0 SDK and enables users to wirelessly sync PIM data with a wide variety of email systems and clients. The free open source software will be available when iPhone 2.0 ships and the App Store opens.
iPhone users will be able to access the sync software via the free myFUNAMBOL portal, without paying a dime (unlike MobileMe). The problem, though, is that the initial version will only support syncing of contacts — calendars and notes are coming soon after.
Previously, Funambol has introduced the world’s first native open source sync application for original (though jailbroken) iPhones. Additionally, they provided iPhone users with web-based interface for accessing their data.











It looks like this is just a wireless timed sync, and not ‘push.’
