Here are my findings regarding iPhone and Chandler-Hub/Cosmo-Server to date:
1.0 Mac: - Since iPhone syncs with iCal.app... - iCal.app is a CalDav (from OS 10.5 Leopard) and iCalendar client - iCal.app does 1-way or 2-way sync with Cosmo Server - iPhone does 2-way sync with iCal.app - iPhone effectively does 2-way sync with Cosmo Server 2.0 Windows - Since iPhone syncs only with Outlook 2003/2007... 2.1 Out-of-the-box XP - Don't wan't to buy/use Outlook... - No iPhone sync 2.2 Outlook 2-way - Since OL doesn't support CalDav - Can't get http://openconnector.org/ to work (CalDav for OL) - No iPhone 2-way sync via OL, yet 2.3.1 Outlook 1-way subscribe - Subscribe to calendar on Cosmo from OL - iPhone can't sync with such "external" calendars! - No iPhone 1-way sync via OL 2.3.2 OUtlook 1-way import - Export .ics from Chandler - Import .ics into OL - iPhone syncs 2-way with OL via iTunes - iPhone effectively does 1-way sync with Chandler via OL - Should work, but itunes/OL sync is broken for many users 3.0 Over-the-air 3.1 NemusSync 1-way via Google Calendar - Export .ics from Chandler - Import .ics into gCal - Jailbroken iPhone does 1/2-way sync with gGal OTA via NemusSync - iPhone effectively does 1-way sync with Cosmo Server via gGal 3.2 Funambol 2-way via Thunderbird/Lightning via Funambol server - www.forge.funambol.org is an opensource SyncML project - Thunderbird/Lightning syncs 2-way with Cosmo over CalDav - Tb/Ln sycs 2-way with Funambol server using Funambol Tb/Ln plugin - iPhone syncs 2-way with Funambol server using Funambol iPHone app - But Funambol iPHone app syncs contacts only - No iPhone 2-way sync via SyncML, yet We currently use a local Cosmo server with Chandler clients. XP is my primary work machine, so 1.0 is out. I don't use and I don't want to buy Outlook, so 2.x are out. I don't want't to rely on the cloud, so 3.1 is out. As you can see, the situation is rather dire on the windows side. Apple should make iTunes talk to any CalDav server, especially since this is the path it is following on the Mac side. Apple should also open up whatever API is needed so that Funambol can support event sync as well, and NemusSync can work on un-jailbroken phones. Since NemuSync is working quite with with gCal presumably over CalDav, I have asked on their forum groups.google.com/group/nemussync suggesting the support of local CalDav server as well as gCal. Can this outline form some sort of skeleton wiki others doing similar investigations to add to? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list unsubscribe here: http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-users Chandler wiki: http://chandlerproject.org/wikihome
