AOL is live with open source sync!
We made the announcement of AOL choosing Funambol a few months ago. After a friends and family test, they are now out officially in beta.For us, this is a great achievement because the Carrier Edition is now deployed at AOL. Talk about scalability -- our mobile open source software can now benefit all AOL users, and you know they have a lot!
To set up AOL Sync:
1) Go to http://aolsync.aol.com/.Here's a YouTube screencam about AOL Sync powered by Funambol:
2) Click "Register your phone".
3) Enter your mobile number, mobile carrier and device manufacturer and click "Send Code".
4) When the verification code arrives on your mobile phone, enter it and click "Verify".
5) Select your phone model and click "Continue".
6) To sync additional calendars or auto added contacts, check them. Click "Configure Now".
7) For iPhone, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices, the next step is to download a sync client. For other devices, you'll receive instructions on how to configure your phone's built-in sync client.
To read more about AOL Sync, check out the post on the AOL website.
Stay tuned -- this is just the beta. We'll keep you posted on its progress.

This is great news for Funambol. However, AOL Sync should have a sync option at:
http://aolsync.aol.com/edit.do
that allows users to sync with ONLY contacts or ONLY calendar. I use outlook for calendar and Thunderbird for email - it would be nice for AOL to allow me to sync ONLY contacts to my iPhone using:
http://aolsync.aol.com/main.do
