[Cialug] Blackberry and Linux

[Josh More]

I have not yet had a chance to investigate this, but http://www.funambol.com/opensource/ has been
on my watchlist since February.  If someone has time to try it out, I would be very interested to see
if it lives up to its hype.

Actually, I have a Treo 600, but I am not exactly thrilled with it. I 
prefer the push email that the Blackberry has. Recently there was a 
special sale for  deaf users who only need data for communication. The 
monthly rate was much cheaper than paying for voice and data on a Treo. 
So the monthly rate and the push email are more important features to 
me.  If I have to find a Windows machine to install the few apps that 
are not OTA, then maybe that is the price I have to pay, I guess.

I was just hoping there was a simple something in the OSS world.

Thanks,

Stuart
