For some time now, I have been maintaining the SynCE project (Windows Mobile devices) packages for openSUSE (system:SynCE). If one of the headline features of 11.3 is going to be mobile device support, I think it would be good for inclusion as well. Main problem is that mobile devices appear as network devices, so to communicate SynCE needs the firewall open. I am not a SuSEfirewall2 expert and have no idea how to provide sane defaults along with the SynCE packages that open just the right ports on the right devices. 50% of the questions on the mailing list are answered by "turn off your firewall"... Should be an easy fix if someone can feed me some info on how to deal with unpredictable device names. And as a minor annoyance, SynCE uses OpenSync to actually sync contacts/calendar etc. The OpenSync project is moving very slowly atm (not dead, but has had a 0.40 release due for the past few years) and so there is no plugin to sync with KDE4/akonadi. Hopefully there will be some effort in this direction for KDE4.5. I think that it would be a nice addition to the feature list, and will put some more work into it, but what do you guys think? Mandriva used it as a feature a couple of releases back (2008.1 I believe).
