What's the state of Palm<->Linux these days?

[John Abreau]

I used to use a Palm III, and it died, after many years of use, before 
I had worked out a decent sync solution. Shortly before it died, I 
discovered that beaming between different types of PDAs tended to 
lose information; birthdays, for instance, tended to get dropped. 

These days I'm using s Sharp Zaurus, which runs Linux natively. I 
maintain my address list in OpenLDAP on a server at home, and I wrote 
a python script to suck the data out of ldap and generate an 
addresses.xml file that the Zaurus likes. If I used the Zaurus' 
calendar, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to do the same for 
appointments.
