You're not alone. :)

I don't know of a specific client right now, though I'm trying to find things
like that. Our general plan, though, is to implement the sycml spec and a
SyncML syncing server in Horde, and to then use that codebase to support
non-syncml clients as well, since it should give us everything we need to do
so.

I'm really going to try and start putting in some of the basics that we need for
syncing soon; help on this would be *great*.
