Data backup service

2007-08-01 Thread Mickael Faivre-Macon
Hi,

Do you know if a phone data (contacts, todo, ...) online backup
service is available already? I'm sure this service exists somewhere
already, I'd just like to have it on the openmoko platform :) I am
ready to help port it if needed, or implement a free service. A bit
like Google Browser Sync, but for phones, not only browsers.

Any pointers ?

++,
Mickael.

There's quite a few using SyncML, see links section:

Check out funambol, http://www.funambol.com/opensource/ . There's a single 
file installer and you can be up and running pretty quickly. Bear in mind 
that the push email clients for non nokia devices appear to be available only 
if you buy the commercial version

Yes, that was why I suggested it :)

my normal phone is a SE P910i which seems to be the worst device ever. I can 
sync contacts and calendar but not email or notes... afaik it's the phone's 
fault. Push email, as I said, is unavailable to me because it's not a 
nokia/windows mobile device. :(

Funambol is using SyncML. So I think the fact it's an open standard  
and has good support means it's a prime candidate for OpenMoko.


It can do push email as well as sync.

The 910 was well regarded, you should try a P990, buggy, bad support  
(SE were going to stop fixing bugs until a user revolt changed their  
mind).


You can get a P990 for 195 UK pounds now, it's plummeted about 350  
UKP since launch.


Anyway, if SyncML is implemented (it's in the wiki already0 then the  
choice of web provider will be up to the end user.
