Funambol v3, the open source push email alternative
RIM has had their fair share of troubles with push email technology -- in the legal realm, that is -- and Microsoft just added push email capability for Windows Mobile last year, but now we've got another player pushing the email crack to its addicted users, this time an open source solution. Funambol v3 server can push to Windows Mobile, RIM, SyncML-compliant, and "any" WAP-enabled phone. If it sounds like they're promising a lot, they are, including attachments, on and offline email, and a slew of PIM features, all of which can be synchronized with an Exchange, Domino, IMAP, or POP server, as their feature sets allow. They claim compatibility with 500 million devices, so it shouldn't be hard to find a way to get up and running, and they even offer a test drive from their online portal.
