Funambol's vision is to make it easy to keep billions of mobile phones and devices in sync with personal computers, email systems and social networks via the cloud. We uniquely do this through an open source approach that provides the greatest degree of device compatibility as well as freedom, control and flexibility. We invite you to explore our website and our community forge to learn more about the Funambol open source project and our commercial software.
We often get asked about the pronounciation and meaning of our name. Funambol (pronounced Fu-NAHM-bol, click here to hear it pronounced) is derived from the Latin words funis (rope) and ambulare (walking), meaning a tightrope walker. Just as a tightrope walker must be strong, brave, disciplined and nimble, Funambol continuously balances the needs of our open source community and our commercial customers.
Started in 2001 as the Sync4j open source project, Funambol has grown to be the leading mobile open source project in the world, with millions of downloads. Our commercial software is used by many of the leading companies in the mobile industry, including carriers, device manufacturers, internet companies, service providers, software firms and system integrators.
