More info on Funambol and SyncML

Submitted by Pete (not verified) on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 06:57.

I first heard of Funambol when reading an article "The Holy Grail of Synchronization". This article describes an approach to synchronize several distributed PIM (Personal Information Management) databases, but I felt it could be applied on other data entities (I understand Funambol implements SyncML in an extensible architecture).

As you say, one of the main issues here (shared by most or all synchronization solutions) is to identify corresponding objects in distributed environments/namespaces.
