IMHO, supporting the vCard format is not going to help much (actually,
SimpleMail has some support for vCard already). However, supporting SyncML
will help - that it is the standard on which iSync is based, and there are
various implementations of SyncML for Windows as well. A SyncML facility fo=
r
the Newton will enable it to sync with most desktop plaforms today and in
the future. Fortunately, we won't need a new NewtOS for that!
