Ty,

I need to do the same thing for Windows CE.

Do you think it'd be wortwhile to "genericize" the zope backend (ToDo, 
Address, Calendar, Backup, Memopad) such that both Palm and 
Windows CE devices could use it?

In fact ... I think part of your existing conduit code would also work for 
Windows CE.

This could be mighty interesting -- backup either Wince or Palm to the 
same Dezkset ... or, be able to pass data between these two types of 
devices via sync.


Wince devices could sync either via their desktop, or directly to the 
Zope server (if the CE device had a native sync program)
--

I'm mostly a Windows CE developer, but I do have all the palm tools as 
well.

Can we talk?
