I made a little more progress yesterday, but then work got in the way. I'll post here if I get anywhere with it tonight.

OK, I've got something working with Snow Leopard and PR1.1. You can find it at http://www.smithfamily.org.uk/~dgs/N900iSync/
Please heed the warnings, back up EVERYTHING before you even think of installing this. As it says in the notes, events created on the N900 don't appear to get pushed back to the Mac. I've also included the iSync Plugin Maker source so if you want to, you can have a go at making it better.

Hey folks,
after searching this forum and others sites I'm still not sure whether maemo 5 on the N900 will fully support iSync.
Well, for me as a Mac user it would be a must. Wondering why nobody else is curious about it...
Thinking seriously about buying an iPhone or giving the N900 a chance.
What do you think?

I was able to get my N900 to sync last night with no problem using your plugin (well.. the broom thing did surprise my cat at first, but I think she understands now that it was for the greater good, so not an issue. For me, anyway
)I did notice that it didn't pull in custom field titles from Address Book (ie: if I have someone's phone number set to a "custom" title rather than "home" or "cell"), but I suspect that's more of an N900 deficiency than anything else. I changed a few on the the N900 to something it was happy with and they synced back to Address Book just fine.
Frankly, the fact that you've got it working at all has really made my day, and I'm sure plenty of other folks' as well. Amazing work!

It's not an N900 deficiency as such, it's more that iSync only expects certain field names in the vCard format it receives, and then maps those to fields within Address Book/iCal etc. You can change the mapping, but not the field names it is expecting to see. I just went with the default mappings as I had a lot of trouble getting my N900 even recognised so any data was a bonus!

Calendar events are still behaving oddly. Events created on the Mac sync fine, and any modifications on either side are reflected correctly. However I still can't get events created on the N900 to appear on the Mac. The N900 thinks they have synced, but they don't appear on the Mac and there are no error messages anywhere.

I have also written a plugin to do this (before realising there was one in progress here!)
I have everything working as far as I can see minus two things. Events with alarms. If they are created in iCal the event is transferred to the N900 just fine but minus their alarms. If they are created (with alarms) on the N900 they do not transfer to iCal at all.
I see you are having trouble transferring events made on the N900 to the mac. My plugin does that correctly (apart from the alarm issue). Do the events transferred by your plugin (from iCal to N900) have alarms set? If so do they still have alarms once in the N900?
You can grab my plugin in here if anyone wants it
Anyone who does try mine out. Let me know how you get on.
Cheers

This is wonderfully curious. My plugin will sync Events created on the N900 if they don't have an alarm. It will also sync events created on the Mac with an alarm, and the alarm survives. Can you send me your Plugin Maker project so I can diff it with mine (or you can do the diff yourself )
)
