Mobile open-source software firm Funambol today will begin inviting consumers to join the new myFUNAMBOL portal to access free mobile email, contacts, and calendars on cellular phones -- including Apple's new iPhone. MyFUNAMBOL is available by invitation only, allowing users to get free mobile email on cellular phones from services such as Yahoo!, Gmail, and AOL as well as most standard email services that utilize POP or IMAP protocols.

The portal includes an address book and calendar for bidirectional synchronization of contact and calendar data from email clients such as Microsoft Outlook and Yahoo! Mail as well as over-the-air with mobile devices, and offers support for numerous mobile devices including Apple's iPod and phones from major handset manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola.
