Actually, this link should be better if you want to make sure you're using the same source code that's published: http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdcategory=Office&fdid=com.funambol.androidsync&fdpage=1 When you install via the Android market you become dependent on the publisher and have no control over what they publish (or stop publishing), as this thread demonstrates. In terms of functionality, I can't say if the application available on the market has more or less. However, the .apk from F-Droid is a clean build from 100% free, open source code. From the About page: "Wherever possible, applications in the repository are built from source, and that source code is checked for potential security or privacy issues. This checking is far from exhaustive though, and there are no guarantees." F-Droid acts as an alternative marketplace for apps providing management (install/update/remove), and where all apps are built from source. FSF Europe recently launched a campaign to better inform people about using free software on their Android devices: http://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/android.html Cheers, Fabian -- -- Fabián Rodríguez
