Yes, i've seen Ryan Pavlik's page. He does something a little different, he syncs his Evolution installation to his N800. This works as long as you're (a) near your Linux box with Evolution, and (b) are sure that Evolution is up-to-date. It's fine for someone who only works with Evolution, but as I work with Outlook as well, I need something a bit more universal.
The only thing that should be necessary for sync is your N800 and an internet connection. Then you can sync to a single net-based data store that you treat as your "master". Sync Outlook to the 'net when you're at work, sync Evolution to the same spot on the 'net when you're at home, and finally sync your N800 to the same spot whenever you're near an access point.
I've seen mention of people using SyncEvolution on the N800 to do this because GPE apparently uses an Evolution Data Repository (EDR?) to store it's data. SyncEvolution installed so nicely and easily on my desktop, that I figured it would be almost as trivial if I could get a copy of SyncEvolution that worked on my N800.
And there appears to be one, but not for OS2008.
At least, not yet.
Maybe someone who has more programming experience than I would try compiling it. I can't be the only one who wants an easy sync between Outlook and GPE.
Come to think of it, what do the Zaurus GPE users use? I'm sure the Linux-based Zauruses (Zauri?) came with Outlook sync software... Didn't they?
