Beside the obvious phone function, smartphone also allow you to carry your personnal data such as contact, meeting and so on. Of course you have to sync it with your computer for backup and replication. However when you seek to do it while traveling or what to have multiple deviced synced. Let’s say your office computer, your laptop and an web calendar. Things get tricky, Moreover if your office computer is like mine under Linux. The natural solution is to have a sync server. However until now, the two available options where not what I was looking for.
First using a third party service. Here confidentiality and availability are an issue for me. I me sorry but these files are to personnal, I dont trust third party here. Even my phone compagny Orange. Sorry guys.
The other option was to have an exchange server (my phone is a windows mobile) and I want to stick with this technology because it work like I want. I infact plan to have a tytn2 as next phone. This was not an option because if I have a server, the one used to host this blog in fact, it run a Linux and I am not going to change that either.
So until now I was pretty stuck, but I may have found my holy graal : an open source sync server. Take look at it here:
Funambol: Open Source sync server
It also support Iphone
