Find out Who You Call with Skydeck

A new service is on its way that could change the way you look at your phone bill. Skydeck pulls in your phone bill - mobile or landline - and gives you a pile of useful statistics on who you call the most, what times you call them and how much you love your mother. Well, that last one's true if your mum measures love in how many times you call her. There's also the suggestion you could use it to spy on who your girlfriend is calling... but then affairs are what pay as you go cellphones are for, and they don't have phone bills - duh.

funambol: Open Source Mobile Server

While perusing the latest Red Herring I came across an article on Open Source in Paris, and how the French government is really going after this in a big way. Liberte, fraternite et equalite and all that. One of the companies that caught my eye was Funambol, who seem to be making giant strides with a mobile delivery server that is both open source and deployed by large telcos. Sounds like an interesting concept and one I'm going to delve into more, especially since Fabrizio Capobianco, their CEO, seems to be getting rave reviews about his blog on the mobile/open source cross over.
