Multitasking Mondays: Sync Contacts with Funambol

It’s amazing how much your productivity increases when you have all the information for all your contacts on all your devices.

There is literally only one service that provides this functionality. And its free.

Try funambol.

There’s an iPhone app. Which syncs with Outlook. Or your smartphone. Or your Blackberry. And with some modern mobile phones.

And, of course, with Thunderbird.

No guide here; your on your own (Sorry—time constraints, but Google is your friend). I just wanted everyone to know that this is out there, and that chances are, it will help.

Sync Your Cell Phone with Google Contacts and Calendar

Google has implemented cell-phone syncing of your contacts. From their blog:

Once you set up Sync, changes you make to your calendar or contacts are reflected on your device within minutes since the connection is over-the-air and always on. And it’s two way, so your calendar and contacts are always up-to-date, no matter whether you make changes on your phone or from your browser. Also, since your information is automatically backed up to your Google account, it’s securely stored even if you accidentally drop your phone in the pool. Getting your address book and calendar to a new phone is as easy as setting up Sync again.

Google sync currently works on the iPhone and on Windows Mobile phone (for contacts and calendar). The contacts-only version works with a number of mobile devices.
