In modern KDE Kolab Clients (we recommend the proko2 branch),
syncing with mobile palm devices via KPilot should work reasonably well.
I do not recommend using a local resource, it is better to have a backup 
of your objects on the Kolab Server.

Yes it is.
For Outlook Kolab Clients, I saw reports for both connectors
that syncing with mobile devices works.
For KDE we build on the efforts of the KDE project.
We appreciate any help (non-technical, coding or financial) to enhance
Kolab funcationality.
