Surely any proposed application should be much clearer about what it
will allow users to do.

What can I realistically expect to sync with what? Are we talking about
syncing multiple desktops, or syncing information between the desktop
and phones/PDAs.

How easy is it to do this for any particular specific cases, such as
syncing a Palm with a desktop PC (With Evolution, hopefully), or syncing
the contacts on my mobile phone, or with my N810?

Also, shouldn't this be integrated into particular applications?
Shouldn't Evolution have a sync menu item, replacing it's current awful
gnome-pilot synchronization feature.
