MobileWe

Our marketing people are creative... We were looking for a word to describe the difference between Apple MobileMe and what Funambol does, and they came up with MobileWe. Actually, open MobileWe for the rest of us.

So:
  1. it is like MobileMe, that is email, contacts, calendar and more data sync with push (oh, push is not in MobileMe...)
  2. it is for the rest of us, the few billions that do not have an iPhone or do not want a @me.com account
  3. it is open (as in open source) and not closed (as in you must have Apple all the way)
Hal put together a paper describing the idea, that you can request in our Product Library. Worth a look if you are a carrier or a device manufacturer or a service provider looking to offer value added services with huge growth potential.
