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."
Slashdot needs a "-1, Wrong" moderation option.
Disagree, because then we'd have people getting modded wrong all the time simply because the mod is wrong.
And where was the Slashdot story for that?
He may not have RTFS, but this is a perfect example of how people end up being misled that things are only available on the Iphone, because anything "On The Iphone" gets pulled up for the daily Slashdot Iphone story, whilst other platforms are ignored. I did RTFS, and I ask what are these "other mobile operating systems"? Does it include the remainder 95% of the market, e.g., support for Symbian?
Prediction: It'll be the same for the Ipad.
