Re: [Barry-devel] q5 sync dilemma

[Nicolas <pr...@fr...>]

Hi,

Indeed, Barry doesn't support the new BlackBerry 10 generation.
As far as, I don't think that add the support is a good thing :) since
BlackBerry 10 brings a lot of stuff work well with Linux. Just change
your way of work... don't worry it's better.

A first, backup / sync is too old way. Now all is in the cloud with
auto-sync process :)

I have installed OwnCloud on my Linux desktop (server) to host :
- CardDAV service (addressbook in the cloud)
- CalDAV service (calendar in the cloud)
- WebDAV service (file storage in the cloud)
In fact, it's my cloud (so don't need to use Google Drive, Box or
other...)

With CalDAV & CardDAV, the sync process is very easy and automatic.
Moreover Evolution works and supports CalDAV & CardDAV.

For WebDAV... the support isn't native. That's why I have written
PlayCloud 10 "built for BlackBerry 10". By the way, it supports WebDAV,
FTP, Box, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, SkyDrive, SugarSync...

Now, I don't need to be at office or at home to backup manually my
device. It's always sync and the BlackBerry 10 is a great device working
in standalone !

BlackBerry 10 as PlayBook has a samba server... So you can access to
your files easily.

At last, I haven't yet spoken about application installation :) It's
very easy and supported in natif with the BlackBerry tool. Just install
any SDK for developpers and use the "blackberry-deploy" tool to install
BAR files on your device.

Regards,

Nicolas
