I know of 3 SyncML clients for Palm.

We are currently developing a CRM application for real-estate agents 
which uses Horde as a framework.  As part of that development we are 
planning on synchronizing Horde with Palm PDA's and with our Palm CRM 
application (called RealtyJuggler).  So, we have been eagerly tracking 
progress with Horde and PalmSource in the area of SyncML.

If necessary, we are willing to update the sourceforge project.  The 
code is a bit of a mess but it's probably the best code available as 
open source.  I have been talking with the PalmSource folks about this 
for several months, trying to get them to keep that source updated.  So 
far they have not stepped up to the plate, but this latest news makes 
me optimistic that they will see benefits in updating that project.
