I have an small hack that export the addressbook from evo using
corba/bonobo and puts it in an xml-file that works fine with qpe (that
the zaurus is running).  I stole alot of code from the palm-conduits :).

I'm working on the same thing for the calendar.  Perhaps I'll add
syncing to it later but right now it's only export.

Interested?

BTW, evo is not using xml for everything.  Syncing the files also means
you need to shut down evolution which I don't want.  So use
corba/bonobo.
