While i generally agree with your objection, i'd like to note that:
- the code actually assumes that every synthesis client is window  
mobile, with a single exception (when  
$GLOBALS['backend']->state->deviceInfo->Mod contains 'palm'); the same  
workaround could be applied to other devices, or the check could be  
inverted: apply the workarounds only if the device model is "windows  
mobile".
- keeping the code untouched we'll probably avoid a regression on  
7-years old devices running an obsolete version of window  
mobile+synthesis (who's still using these?), but actually break  
syncronization on all existing ios and android devices (hundreds of  
millions devices in use).

I'll try to retrieve the $GLOBALS['backend']->state->deviceInfo for  
ios and android devices so that the check can be improved.
