Funambol is an app for the iPhone that offers you a way to sync up your contacts up with the Funambol service so that you can easily back them up to your iPhone or share them with any other contact based service that you may be using on your computer. The app is very straight forward and really handy for someone with multiple devices or a lot of contacts.

Just having the ability to view your contacts from any computer you sit down at is pretty powerful. But this app not only syncs your information with its web side, it also allows you to sync it to any Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, or Java ME capable cell phone. You can even sync it up with a regular iPod and Outlook too.

There are many times when a sync will go wrong with your iPhone, or you'll just need a contact and don't want to dig through your phone for it. With Funambol, everything becomes a lot easier to navigate through. There isn't a lot that you actually do on the app itself except keep track of when your last sync was and initiating a new sync. But the usefulness is mostly off of the iPhone.

If you are the type of person who always needs to be in touch with their contacts or has multiple computers and device that you want to sync up, definitely try out Funambol. It works very well at syncing up your contacts and making them easily accessible no matter what you're using or where you need them.
