Well, this is what I've been working on the last five or six days...and nights...:) The upcoming Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring release will boast the easiest ever support for synchronizing with Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices in any distribution. The adventurous can already try out the support in the current 2008 Spring pre-release repositories, by following the instructions <a href="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Synchronization">here</a>. Mandriva has <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMNpI3RUwo8">uploaded a video</a> demonstrating how easy it is to synchronize with a Windows Mobile 6 device right out of the box with Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Support is included for synchronizing with both KDE (KDE PIM) and GNOME (Evolution). Similarly easy synchronization is also possible with many Nokia phones and with Blackberry devices. -- adamw
