Excerpt:

"Funambol is an open source, mobile application server that is the de-facto, standard implementation of the SyncML specification. It solves the basic need to get data and applications on mobile devices. In the same way that traditional application servers allow applications and services to be served over the web to traditional clients such as desktop browsers and thin clients. Mobile application servers accomplish the same with mobile devices such as pocket PC’s and mass market cellular phones. Funambol is capable of synchronizing contacts, calendars, appointments, tasks, and notes on over 75% of the mass market wireless phones today, while also providing support for Personal Information Management (PIM) databases on some of the most popular devices in use today."
