Thanks guys, how about WinCE.

First, thanks for the good work. Syncing data is getting more important every day.
Allthough WinCE devices are mentioned in the article, they do not appear with the supported devices for the 1.0 release, and in my opinion that is really a missed opportunity.

For Palm devices there is a lot of excellent software, but not so for WindowsCE/Windows Mobile based devices. Where I live (The Netherlands) those are by far the most used PDA's, and honestly, my Palm can't beat the features of even a modest Ipaq.
The only disadavantage is that it is near impossible to synchronize the agenda with Linux. And the agenda is the most elementary feature of those devices...
A few attempts have been made, but nothing really works.

Decent "ActiveSync" support would make OpenSync/Kitchensync the new standard overnight.

Dont worry. Support for windows ce devices is definitely on the roadmap. There already exists a synce plugin. its in the subversion repository if you would like to try it. i just didnt release it with 0.18 since i dont know if it is stable enough already.

But the author of the synce tools is already working on a replacement called midasync which will make the synchronization of windows ce device a lot better.
