SyncML/CustomBackend
- File Formats for various sync devices
Various SyncML capable devices exchange data (adress, calendar, todo, notes) in various data formats. This page is designed to collect as many examples from as many devices as possible to allow for an implementation that can deal with any of these.
++ Synthesis SyncML client
The Synthesis (www.synthesis.ch) client can be used to sync Palm and various Windows Mobile PDAs.
