Funambol makes it easy to read, reply and manage email on a mobile device. It pushes email to phones, enabling messages to be quickly scanned and replied to while on the go. Funambol provides all standard email functionality, such as read, delete, reply and forward. The software can automatically synchronize a user's favorite contacts from many sources, eliminating the need to type email addresses on their phone. Funambol makes it easy for users to access their desired email from Yahoo!, AOL, Gmail, POP/IMAP, work and other sources. This makes mobile email much easier to use than ever before.
Funambol also enables mobile email to be delivered at lower cost than other solutions. Our open source business model allows us to operate with a lower cost structure and to pass savings on to our customers while still providing premier capabilities, service and support.
The commercial version of Funambol, Carrier Edition, includes capabilities that make it easy to get users up and running and to deploy push email on a mass scale. It includes a new portal (demonstrable at my.funambol.com) that automates Over-The-Air (OTA) configuration of mobile devices for mobile cloud sync and mobile email. To configure a device, a user just enters their mobile number into the portal and they receive an SMS on their phone which the user can accept to configure their handset. This eliminates the cryptic typing of urls and commands on tiny keypads that has been a barrier to user acceptance.
