So I am looking for a way to sync up few devices. Tablet, 2xPhones, TDE etc. What should be synced is the trivial once (cal, event, address, todo, notes) and possibly all the rest possible to be synced via syncML (images, mp3 etc - but this is nice to have - I'm sure it will work as the syncml library is pretty good - we just miss an interface in TDE for it).
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.
Thanks Slavek, this is why I opened the discussion here. As I mentioned I dropped my work on this couple of years ago and I don't know how far it went on. I'm sure the N9 uses SyncML and I'm sure why it works good. Unfortunately there is no way for sync with TDE. It is a pain to do it with some tricks etc.
I'll check the details on the N9 and the Jolla device and will try to update my knowledge set. It looks like I have to pull tdepim source. Which is the best way to get all relevant packages?
This is what I see on my machine
