Hi Keith,
May I ask, what kind of information would you like to be able access
from mobile device? We are considering a number of "workarounds",
but none yield 100% data fidelity.
For example:
1. Hub sends out an email at the start of every day with a list of
"upcoming" events and reminders + list of "NOW" items. (Just titles
and dates, no notes.)
2. Hub will sync all non-event Chandler items as VTODOS so that you
can get Chandler Notes into calendar clients/services that support
the VTODO standard and then sync your data onto your mobile device
from there. (Non-standard attributes like Triage Status, Star will be
lost.)
The only app that supports both subscribing to calendars and vtodos
and syncing with mobile devices is Apple iCal. Are there any others
for which this workflow would work?

a bit of good fortune, hopefully one day Chandler will sync with

it's reminiscent of good old DateBk5 for Palm, where each event
had an 'advance' checkbox. Ticking it prompted the user for a
'number of days advance' figure. A separate 'floating event' was
thus created, which was automatically deleted when the original
event date arrived.
Sadly, I deserted the Palm platform a year ago, when they had
managed to imbue their latest version of the OS with all the
reliability of Windows 95. I headed for Windows Mobile, where the
latest Mobile calendar won't sync with Vista calendar without the
application of con$iderab£e effort. Thanks, Micro$oft. That's me -
Betamax, Psion, HD DVD...
I'm presently running Chandler on an XP tablet and a Vista UMPC,
both with excellent results (aside from the occasional issue when
Chandler finds a 400-pixel-high screen a bit of a surprise).
Unfortunately, I've yet to find a way of accessing hub via mobile.
Opera Mini freezes at the logon prompt, Minimo accepts the logon
but then shuts down, BirdieSync via Lightning had problems with
something at the hub end - never did find out what. As everything
is otherwise working nicely, I don't want to start using
intermediaries like Google calendar, just to get my diary where I
would like it.
Looking forward to Chandler Mobile...
Keith
