Any suggestions about the best way to use an Android telephone with openSUSE? This is re: things like syncing contacts and perhaps mail.
I am guessing the best is to use various Google services as the mediator. So, for example, sync evolution contacts and calenders with Google, and then sync the phone with Google. Or is there a more direct way that does not involve Google services?
Unless you have a philosophical aversion to Google, I've found that with iPhone OR Android (but especially the latter) you might as well go all in on google services, and use it to sync everything you possibly can with Google. Addresses, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Music, Docs, etc. Its easier to find desktop applications that deal with Google than find phone apps that deal with KDE or Linux apps. Any KDE/Linux app that insists on ignoring Google integration is just not worth my time. Since I use IMAP for all mail, it really doesn't matter what mail client I use, but Address books are a perpetual problem, because Thunderbird keeps walking away from its own plugins, so address book syncing works today, and then fails tomorrow. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
