Re: [Opensync-users] SyncML a better way to go than IrMC?

[Marc B. <ba...@sm...>]

Hi,

I am following the discussions on SyncML with great interest and would like
to make an additional comment.

>>> Armin Bauer said:

 >> the samsung is not yet supported

In addition to phones, it would be great to also consider the possibility
to connect to SyncML servers like ScheduleWorld, Sync4j or Strato's
communicator.

I managed to install a SyncML applet on eg a Qtek 9100 PDA/phone and sync
with the server. What's missing would be to have opensync/multisync connect
to the server and sync with eg kde pim.

This might be a quite generic solution for eg phones or PDAs where SyncML
client modules already exist to sync with such a server.

.. and obviously ..

keep up the good work and thank you for bringing opensync and multisync
to life :)

Greetings,
Marc


NB: FYI - how to sync KDE addressbook and a SyncML server
    currently I am using the "old" multisync CVS version (0.82ish) which
    allows me to sync my KDE addressbook with an account on the ScheduleWorld
    SyncML server. Independently I keep my PDA/phone in sync with this
    server via SyncML using the free Sync4j client for WM.
    It is a very promising solution (but at the moment it only works
    for the address book). I would love to use multi/opensync to keep all KDE
    PIM data in sync with the server.
