Interesting comment, Patrick. What is your view of how PIM syncing is evolving with new phones? Certainly they are supporting a more and more functional ActiveSync for the enterprise market but what about personal users? Will it all become specific apps for specific cloud services? For example, the Dropbox apps for phones, PCs, etc will sync your contacts/calendar on that device to Dropbox? Facebook, Evernote, etc will have similar apps? And so will mobile phone operators? That is starting to happen already. I suppose we will then need to wait for the Facebook generation to become old and cynical before they will push for open interfaces so that they can easily switch service providers. In the meantime, would it be feasible to create SyncML apps for Andorid, iPhone, etc to continue to support open syncing?
