Saturday, March 1. 2008Zyb.com, simple synchronisation for your phone
I could do a glowing a review with screenshots and all sorts of niceties, but I think the following elevator pitch is enough for most people.
Using ZYB, I backed up my phonebook, and synchronised my phone calendar with my work calendar. All in about 3 minutes. I'm impressed. It's a shame they're going for a social network thing as well. I think this will be really useful, especially since I won't be going next or near the O2 iPhone anytime soon. The " O2 deal" may as well come with a tube of KY Jelly and and some rusty nails.

Just out of interest, Des. Why aren't you interested in the O2 iPhone?
I guess it's mainly down to price. I could probably afford it, but I've just about had it with paying extrordinary prices for things.
500 quid for a handset is a tad crazy, and my other issue is that I'll be paying more per month for the iPhone plan and getting less (bar the 1gig data) I might change my mind if everyone else ends up with them, but I'm really hoping that Ireland sends a message to o2 on this one.
Des, I tried out another back up service, without the annoying social networking interface, check out www.mobyko.com. I backed up my Sony Ericsson in about 3 steps
Hi Des,
how's your new iPhone? You sound like the ex-Mayor of New York, except replace hookers with an iPhone (unless there's something else you're not telling us). Lar 
That website looks like a web 2.0 classic! I actually giggled a little when I opened it thinking you were doing another nakatomi!
I tried to use the service, but sometimes the website is not loding.
I checked out www.mobyko.com (thanks Rup). It worked. Great!!!
Check out http://www.soocial.com they also do without the social networking bla, and synchronize your contacts with your computers, phones and software too (like GMail).
