"Funambol, the leading provider of open source mobile cloud sync and push email for billions of devices, today announced the availability of the world's first open source mobile device management solution for leading 4G devices. Funambol developed the open source solution in collaboration with leading 4G mobile broadband provider Clearwire. The solution, consisting of both mobile client and server software, performs over-the-air (OTA) management of devices connected to a 4G network, including bootstrap, provisioning, diagnostics and updates. The software is intended to help device OEMs speed their time to market and increase the number of 4G devices for customers."

Funambol to sync with Google's Android.

"Mobile 2.0 messaging software provider Funambol this week announced plans to start an open source project that would result in a messaging and sync client for Google's Android mobile-phone software development platform.

Funambol's client for Android phones will work in conjunction with Funambol's free Web portal to wirelessly sync Personal Information Manager data, such as contacts appointments, and tasks, and e-mail systems such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Microsoft Outlook, and others. It also will allow users to wirelessly migrate PIM data from other phones and the Web to their Android phones."

Open sourcing mobile email.

"Funambol... sells an open-source application server for mobile operators, enabling them to run several applications on mobile devices without relying on proprietary technologies from companies like Research in Motion (of BlackBerry fame), Microsoft, Seven, or Visto... In February, Funambol snagged PLDT, the Philippines’ big telco (and biggest mobile carrier), as a customer. The Manila-based giant plans to deploy Funambol’s mobile open-source platform to deliver email, calendaring, address book, and other capabilities to its 22 million subscribers."

CA licenses Funambol's mobile technology.

"Funambol, a developer of open-source data synchronization software for mobile devices, has licensed its Sync4j mobile application server to CA Inc... Mobile applications, devices and services will be one of the focuses of CA's research efforts over the next year, the company said at its CA World conference in Las Vegas in November."
