Hi Ron,
I personally don't believe in syncing peoples personal contacts to
anyones server.
Especially google. If that is what that API does. But your call.
You should be able to connect to the contact sync right on the phone
with your app
and not need a server to do this.
On the jailbreaking note, didn't the US government deem it not
illegal to jailbreak your phone?
I know there are a lot of us. Me included. Its just a better
experience, IMO.
Nothing to be said about how apple will treat it, but I know they
have been adopting
a lot of things that jailbroken apps created back in the day in the
iOS now like, copy an paste and tether. lol
If you don't believe me, look up clippy. :)
I had copy an paste in iOS 2.1 and could use my tether app for
connecting my computer then too.
Tether is something that hasn't been in the approved apps till iOS 3
or 4. It was actually frowned upon by Apple.
Its only a matter of time, I think, before they allow JB apps in
iTunes anyway.
search for CYDIA, CYCONTACT, iSQL(I think thats the name), and
LockCalendar.
They do all that your talking about already. They are jailbroken apps.
But for instance, I have modified my LockCalendar app with my own
graphics.
Pretty cool. You may be able to find info on how to build your app
from them, not that yours
would be necessarily a jailbroken app, but the code to build them
would be the same for the most part.
HTH,
Best,
Karl

Hi Ron,
yes,you should try to use Google as a gateway; the Google API is very
well documented,
I think all you need is just the user account (and password) and then
through the API you should access all data.
Cheers.

Andrés,
It would be tempting to build an app for this, but we don't have a
single
Mac in the place.
Maybe syncing with Google is the way to go? That would keep the
iPhone out
of the equation. (This is not intended for the market.)
Thanks,

Hi Ron,
watchout with the jailbrake becaous it will void your warranty over
the iphone. If you want to sync the phone's contact with
"something",
you really should check the iphone API and build an iphone
application
which hooks and listens for contact's change and then notify the
changes to your server.
I know building an iphone app is a pain, but I think its the
right way
to do it, if not the only.
Is this need for a hobbie or you need to implement this for a public
application?
Cheers.

Karl / Andrés
Thanks for your replies.
iMy appears to be only a client and I can already access servers
with php
on
the iPhone web browser.
I would like MySQL on my iPhone. There was a way to make a
jailbroke
iPhone
a MySQL server, but I'm not sure it is available any longer.
My immediate desire is to sync the iPhone's native contacts and,
perhaps,
the calendar with our online server over the internet.
Preferably syncs
would be "pushed".
With a Google Gmail account, you can already do just exactly
that. Once
set
up, if you update your Gmail contacts, a minute or two later
your iPhone
contacts will be sync'd. It's supposed to work with the Google
calendar,
too, but I haven't tried it. It appears that Google is using a MS
Exchange
Server or similar. The setup in the iPhone uses the Exchange
server
settings. See http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
The solution I'm looking for would be server side -- if not
completely,
in
part. Again, it would be best to sync directly to the iPhone,
but if
the
server would sync with the Google calendar and Google sync'd
with the
iPhone, that would be an acceptable 2nd choice.
Thanks again for your reply!

Hi Ron, what's what you want to sync? Contacts? Or everything
else?
You want to sync it over the internet? Or over wire?
You should research the iPhone API/SDK for sync;
and not focus with MySQL, wich is just an storage.
Cheers.

You'd probably want o use JASON or an equiv. to talk back and
forth
with
your database and app.
At least thats the consensus I'm finding on posts about it.

Hey all!
Does anyone know how to go about syncing a MySQL db with an
iPhone
over
the internet?
An alternative would be syncing with Google Contacts, which
then could
sync with the iPhone. I think Google Contacts uses Exchange
Server to
sync
with devices.
Thanks!
