Thunderbird client send to blog example

begin:vcard
fn:Ivano Brogonzoli
n:Brogonzoli;Ivano
email;internet:ivo@funambol.com
x-mozilla-html:FALSE
version:2.1
end:vcard

This is just an example for the last post. This post was created simply
sending a message unsing the Thunderbird email client to my blog post
email address. As you can see the signature is reported at the end of
the post and if you include your vcard properties with the email, it is shown at the beginning of the message body. Better to avoid this behavior, but this is just an example ;)

Web 2.0 and Mobile 2.0

This blog amis to make you confident with Mobile 2.0 and help you creating your own web contents using your own mobile device. You just need a mobile device with an internet connection and a flat plan. Here you will find some tips and tricks that will allow your device to become your only tool to interact with your web data. Of course, at the end of the story you'll understand that you won't ever  need a PC browser, but only your phone.

Mobile 2.0 services and personal data

The question is: how can I use my phone to realize the full suite of services I have on my PC?

The spread of mobile technology makes it possible. Let's see together how you can replace your preferred PC services and appications on your phone.

First of all, when you buy a new mobile device, the biggest problem is to find a simple way to have your old device data on your new phone. How can you do?

Many manufacturers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Blackberry (...) offer you their own software to backup your personal data (address book, calendar and appointments, for example). The mess is that they just make a backup of your data onto your PC, so you require to install at least a manufacturer application like Microsoft Active Sync or Nokia PC suite to have all of your data saved (mostly via USB, as per now).

Wouldn't it be nice a centralized service that does all of these steps for you? Of course there are some web service proveders that actually do that.

If you look for a free and innovative alternative, take a look to Funambol.

First of all go to the link:

http://www.funambol.com

Follow the links to the myFunambol portal, createan account and download the Funambol Email Client on your device. As U can see from the Fuanmbol home page Funambol supports a large number of devices, but if you don't see your, please use the Funambol "User Discussion" List to ask for addition - someone will answer very soon.

Be sure to have a flat data plan activated on your SIM card if you don't want your carrier to bill any single Kb of data received and sent during the installation and client's usage.

Now take few minutes to go on the Funambol portal and learn about what synchronization is and how it can help you and your buisiness.

Enjoy.

Receive your emails on your device (when they have just arrived!!!)

Of course, if you took a lok to the site suggested i n the last post, and you saw the Funambol developer team page, you saw my photo on that page as I am a Funambol developer. During the past 3 years I've been working on a useful email application that works on many devices and really makes it possible to avoid the use of a Personal Computer in order to send/receive emails, but only using your device. The Funambol Email Client is the key to this problem. We have many flavours of this product as it works with perhaps all the existent devices and operative systems and manufacturers. We provide both email client for Java capable devices and plugins for Symbian and other OS devices. Also if you use a Blackberry, I suggest to take a look to the Blackberry flavour of our products: we have the right applications both to synchronize contacts, tasks, calendars and notes and of course using a free push email service on it.  The usage is simple: access your funambol account, select your Blackberry device, synchronize your data and begin to receive your emails when they just arrive on your email server thanks to the push technology.

Synchronize yourself and enjoy.

Create your web content with your phone: posting to blog

If you own a blog you can share your ideas, comments and discussions on the web. This is the base concept of the web 2.0 that changes the web paradigm in the last years: at the beginning, internet was only a way to read contents and find informations on a wirld wide network. Now it changed and you can contribute with your own contents. If you are reading this blog you are experiencing one of the first tool that changed that paradigm. The matter is: can you use your device in order to post messages to your blog. The answer is yes! The solution is once more the Funambol email client. This functionality is only present on blogs that allow you to post via email, so depending by the type of blog, first of all you must see the instruction to activate your email posts. You will see that blogging via email is possible by sending a mail to your blog post email address. Just put the post 

title on your email subject and the post body on your email body. Of course you can use a PC email client like Outlook to do it, but if you wanna do it with your mobile phone now you can: send the post with the Funambol email client.
