So I am looking for a way to sync up few devices.

I am unfamiliar with syncML. Do any of these phones / sync solutions use a standard interface (similar to CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.) or are they all proprietary / device class specific APIs?
Thanks!

As far as I know, SyncML went into oblivion just because it was very differently implemented in different devices. I personally consider SyncML as the history that is no longer promising.
Current devices usually use CalDAV / CardDAV or ActiveSync or both. For example, there's an application for Android
- DAVDroid, which is being developed as opensource. That's why I want to focus on solving problems CalDAV and
CardDAV in TDE.
I also don't sync my phone or any other device for the same reasons Tim explained in details. But I think it would be a good addition (perhaps a -must have- one these days) to TDE since most of the general users would surely use it. If we identify a proper way forward (required protocols and interfaces) we could look at integrating them into TDE. Cheers Michele
