Dev Kit & Pi Sync PIMS
 

I used to be an owner of a Zaurus C860. I was wondering if anyone has tried porting the pi-sync suite to the N800. I have searched the forums but haven't come up with to much. I find the GPE pims quite limited and the opensync plugin doesn't seem to be happy with a lot of the fields in Kontact.

I am also wondering if someone can point me to a dev kit for the N800 as I am keen to start hacking - searched maemo but couldn't find anything obvious.

Thanks for any help.

ps Anyone know if there is a beta for Canola which supports OGG playback?

I, too am a former Zaurus (5500 & 5600) user, and would also love the pi-sync apps. However, they use the QT toolkit, rather than GTK+/Hildon, so I think porting would be at least moderately difficult, certainly beyond my skills. I'd love to see it, though.

The easiest way to get a devkit up and running is the
maemo vmware appliance, which you can download and use with vmware server or player, both of which are free downloads. There are also instructions on maemo.org for installing the devkit on your own Linux machine, but I prefer the appliance.

Thanks for your reply. I am downloading the dev kit now. I know a lot of the zaurus roms shipped with pi-sync pims by default (pdaxrom I think) so I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to recompile the QT Toolkit. It depends on how large. I'll have a look when I get back from work (Christian Youth Worker - Gap Year) later.

Let me know if you make any progress! I'd love to see these apps. My favorite part was the ability to ssh sync with a Linux desktop.
