GUI's are interesting because I would rather get blackberries to work with libs like opensync where the gui is handled by some other tool than to create yet more custom tools for specific devices. I'd rather have that kind of functionality to be honest but I don't mind creating small guis for testing if required. > Alternately, if you are into the kernel side of things, you could help > track down the reason for the charging issues on Ubuntu.

You might want to take a look at what RIM and other hand held makers are communicating the usb consortium for their new low power mode, so there is some kind of a standard for devices and computers to communicate when a phone or pda can charge from the computer. They might be some clues to the entire protocol in what they're submitting. > As for Mac support, in theory this should just work, but I believe there > are some libusb issues that stop it working.
