My own personal suggestion would be that someone take a serious look at
SyncML (http://www.syncml.org), an XML-based open standard for PDA
synchronization.
As a standard, it has been embrased by existing commercial products such
as Starfish TrueSync. If we had a compliant implementation, then we
would have the potential for decent sync to modern PIMS, mobile phones,
and other PDAs without all the hassles or workarounds that we often have.
