I've just read through the LiPS API. I think it's a step in the right 
direction, but it looks like it's got a long way to go before it's usable. :-(

I guess my main issues with it are:

1) It (currently) only covers address books
2) The Query interface is pretty limited (No way to "get contacts.phone-number 
where gender is Female and bra-size >= DD")
3) There's no "last updated" timestamp on the fields. This is an absolute must 
to make syncs reliable, otherwise how does it know which is correct if the 
server and the client have different values?  

I'm thinking that it could be a great interface to get at the address book on 
the SIM card and import it into a unified local repository (which then gets 
synced to a server somewhere on the internet). Perhaps EDS would be a 
possibility here?

Cheers,

Tom
