I have a Netbook Pro, a mobile phone, and an office network of Linux workstations. But *can* I find any way of syncing my contact and agenda data between them? The hell I can...
The built-in app (OnSchedule) will only sync with MS Outlook through its proprietary software
I *could* sync to Pocket Outlook using Multisync - but the Netbook doesn't come with Pocket Outlook.
I *could* install another PIM that handles SyncML or behaves like Outlook does, but after a lot of searching I haven't found one - either shareware or full commercial.
I could even install a generic Java PIM, but haven't found one that works with the Jeode JVM.
In short, I am stuck. I might as well type the data in by hand. I have even gone as far as installing MS Windows on one of our machines - but even then I am stuck with the data in MS Outlook - can't see any way of squirting it across to a LDAP or SyncML server.
Any ideas anybody? All I'm looking for is a simple address book that will share its data with a generic app such as LDAP - or make available an API so I can roll my own. Surely such a thing must exist for Windows CE? Or failing that, something that could take the Pocket Access database that OnSchedule creates and change it into CSV or something I can sync by hand...
