Synthesis is a SyncML client that communicates with the Funambol SOGo connector. It is far superior to aCal as far as tasks go from my testing so far. There is a full featured internal tasks datstore and an option to use the app Astrid as a front end (very nice but unfortunately no start dates).
The issue is that it's $25 with a $50 pro version that places task due dates with reminders in the Android calendar and has auto sync capabilities. This is fine for me personally with few Android users but is very unfortunate for those wishing to deploy this in large organizations. Perhaps the programmer has yet to even consider a lower price for a large number of licenses, given that Android has yet to challenge RIM's Blackberry in the corporate and government market. He is very accommodating with making changes to allow full SOGo compatibility. Everything (re: tasks; have yet to test its contacts and notes sync) works perfect so far except reminder syncing (which I've yet to ask about) and task recurring (but I think this is a SOGo issue). Still, it would be great to have an open source alternative. The maker of CalDAV-Sync and Card-DAV-Sync (mentioned in SOGo documentation) told me he has plans to include task sync with his event syncing app but needs to recruit another developer.
