Ubuntu One Gets iPhone App For Contact Sync
oneone writes "Canonical is bringing its Ubuntu One cloud service (which we discussed last month) to handheld devices with a new mobile contact synchronization feature that is powered by Funambol. Canonical's Ubuntu One application for the iPhone is now available from the iTunes Music Store. Android and other mobile operating systems will be supported with Funambol's standard client application. The mobile sync feature is currently in the beta testing stage but will be generally available to Ubuntu One subscribers when Ubuntu 10.04 is released later this month. Canonical says that it is boosting its Ubuntu One server infrastructure in order to support what it anticipates will be record loads."
Other than teenage girls, and self-important geeks, is the market ready for, and does it demand, an always-on, always synchronized lifestyle? Is it no longer possible/acceptable to be unplugged?
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
we were not, and are not being used by them.
Having been around the community since before they existed, I disagree.
