Can you point me to one reference that says OpenSync implements the ActiveSync protocol? As far as I remember, OpenSync implements SyncML, an *open* standard for PIM synchronization. > In mobile world, there is not escaping MS things.

SyncML is what almost all major vendors use. I don't understand where you got the idea OBEX is an MS technology. Blackberry doesn't support ActiveSync at all - it uses its own proprietary sync protocol (which it licenses separately as Blackberry Connect). Which smartphone did you have in mind when you said "MS was doing smartphones in 1998"? Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
