Hi

Dne 16.8.2011 10:21, Roger Oberholtzer napsal(a):
Who would have thought that an innocent question about using Android
telephones with openSUSE would result in pretty much only a charged
political discussion? Not me.

Should I summarize the situation to be that Android support (as opposed
to Google support) does not exist in any software supplied with
openSUSE? If I want to explore services, the best bet is to see what
Funambol can provide. Otherwise, openSUSE and Android are oil and water?

I didn't find any special software for Android and I don't need it. :-)
USB tethering (sharing of Internet connection via USB) works out of the
box - just plug, choose sharing of Internet in the phone and wait 10
seconds. :-) Android also works as normal USB mass storage device.
Anything else? Oh yes, as I wrote earlier, Funambol works for me, as
well as connection of Google contacts and calendar with
Thunderbird/KOrganizer/Evolution. And for mails I use IMAP (K-9 mail), I
don't like GMail (not enough good for me;-). And also I mentioned
possibility of sharing calendar using CalDav and contacts using LDAP,
although I haven't tried it yet. That's all I need. I don't see any
(major) issue when using Android with openSUSE. Well, Samsung ships Kies
software for some "sharing" of multimedia and contacts with Windows, but
IMHO it's crap. In fact, only one think I can not do under Linux is to
upgrade phone's firmware, but Samsung's care for upgrades is so "great"
that I don't miss it at all... ;-)

Yours sincerely,

Roger Oberholtzer
