It should be doable, but the biggest problem is the difference in data
storage formats & fields between the Newton & Mac-side. Since many
fields may have to be converted/truncated and/or put into different
fields, it can be difficult to do consistently. Sync is notorious for
this problem, in general. Add to that the fact that Apple's Sync
Services lean more towards BlueTooth and such, we'd have to add
protocols to the Newton (plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
Sync Services may be deprecated at this point).

nSync used to support much of this and few people tried to improve it,
but I don't think they ever got it to a point where they felt it was
worth pursuing. And, that was quite a number of years ago.
