Can you provide some more info for this one?  We can then include it in
the ideas list.

A few things you might want to think about too.

There are various mobile platforms, given that there is 3 FLOSS based
ones openMoko, maemo and android with small market shares.  Then there
are the 2 dominant platforms - WinCE and the various flavours of Symbian
it may be hard to choose which platform to use.

The core phpGW PIM modules are already supported by the PIM software on
the mobile devices.  Other modules syncing via syncml would need use one
of the existing syncml data types, which is likely to be somewhat
limiting.
