Ubuntu 10.04 Gets Cloud-Based Contact Syncing

Life Hacker's Kevin Purdy tells us that along with a built-in music store, Ubuntu 10.04, the free Linux distribution arriving later this month, will offer a 30-day trial of cloud-based contact syncing through its Ubuntu One storage service. It's a promising peek into nifty features to come. "Promising" because, at the moment, Ubuntu One contact syncing is a kind of alpha feature that's being offered as a 30-day trial, free to users of Ubuntu One's standard 2 GB of web storage. It uses Funambol, a background push/sync service often mentioned in the comments around here, and there's already an Ubuntu-branded iPhone app—though any Funambol client on most any phone can also sync to Ubuntu One, as can phones that support SyncML. Adventurous Ubuntu users can read the Phone Sync FAQ for help and suggestions. You'll need an Ubuntu One account to try out contact syncing, which you can create here. [1]
