According to wikipedia, thiese are some of the companies that are using
SyncML in their products:

Ericsson, Thomson, Siemens, Reti Radiotelevisive Digitali, Nokia, Openwave,
Sony Ericsson, Philips, Motorola, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Telefónica,
Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, IBM,
Oracle Corporation, Symbian, Celltick, Expway, Mformation, InnoPath,
Motive, Discretix...

I think it might be easier to make sure all clients and servers adhere to the
spesification and works well, than it would be to find some radically different
solution without any support.

Something like Google Calendar?
