looking around for synchronization tools

[Doug Finch]

Lucio,
The advantage of z-push is that it makes use of the "already existing" Exchange functionality of most smart phones (e.g. iPhone, Android, etc).  All of these phones are capable of connecting to a Microsoft Exchange server using ActiveSync protocols.  Z-push replicates these ActiveSync protocols on the server side - so the phone "thinks" it is connecting to an Exchange server for calendar and contacts.  This is a huge value to end-users.  SyncML may be ready someday for enterprise use, but since the devices already understand ActiveSync - why not capitalize on that?  This is what z-push does.

We have found both Z-push and the Kolab platform to be a comparable solution for groupware email and collaboration.  It is the only open source project that is fully supported by an active community.  This means that 1) your questions get answered in a timely manner, and 2) the software is maintained (updated) in a professional way.  

Regards,

Doug Finch

Thanks for the kind replies, but I'm afraid now my confusion is even worse... 
I've read the zpush page on the wiki, and... why should I use a Microsoft protocol even if I have nothing that comes from MS? Isn't SyncML enough to sync contacts and calendar? What's the drawback with SyncML?

A doubt... is kolab actually for me?
