[Kolab-devel] Kolab connector for Mac OS

[Tyrell Berry]

Expanding SyncML seems to be a logical approach.  There are already
funambol-based projects for other devices, like vcardio for android, and
considering funambol is open source, I'm equally sure I can get my hands on
their code reletively easy, so to expand it and make it work with custom
fields.  It wouldn't "Push" the changes the way that a solution which
bridges through mobileme/Apple Sync Services would, but is certainly a
solution that would benifit more iPhone users than my original
proposition.   I will investigate further.

As for Z-sync, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought activesync only
supported the standard VCard fields?  If it in fact supports custom labels
and such, it would be a far better match for my needs than any funambol
based solution could ever be...
