* ''AIUI (from reading other projects' mailing lists and web pages), it is implemented slightly differently across different clients, but I would have thought you could get logic from multisync, likely not as a library, as they depend on GNOME libs and the like, but certainly by reading their code. There is certification for interoperability of SyncML products; the list is long and at [[http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/syncml/syncml_compliant_products.html]]. NB it can use HTTP as a transport, and a fair few of the clients on that list seem to support HTTP rather than OBEX; this should be relatively easy to integrate into Mozilla :-) - BenS'' | * ''AIUI (from reading other projects' mailing lists and web pages), it is implemented slightly differently across different clients, but I would have thought you could get logic from multisync, likely not as a library, as they depend on GNOME libs and the like, but certainly by reading their code.

* ''All of the IPR patents for SyncML are presently only at application stage according to the Open Mobile Alliance's IPR Declaration page [[http://www.openmobilealliance.org/about_OMA/OMA_IPR_Declarations.html]]. If they make it through, I'm guessing either the Moz Foundation or users would have to pay licensing on it. What's the policy on this kind of thing? - BenS'' | * ''All of the IPR patents for SyncML are presently only at application stage according to the Open Mobile Alliance's IPR Declaration page [[http://www.openmobilealliance.org/about_OMA/OMA_IPR_Declarations.html]].

* ''Most Symbian OS Series 60 and above, late-model Sony Ericsson, and (AFIACT) all >=2004 Motorola phones have SyncML support in one form or another. Some only via OTA (Over The Air, ie: HTTP), and some like the new Motorola Linux-based phones (a768i, a780) support it via OTA, USB and infrared. One benefit of SyncML support, as BenS noted, would be a large base of device support. | |||
