Sorry, I should have been more specific : synchronization of *calendar items *now works fine across platforms, and may even get better in the future when products implement CalDAV. However, synchronization of *to do items* is still a major problem.
Yes, I know that the iCalendar standard covers also to do's (as you informed me a while ago), but it is practically seldom implemented. And quoting its wikipedia page: *Recurring and repeating meetings still have a "bit of mystery and ambiguity associated with them", causing some conversion problems in some cases.* I don't know how far this mystery goes or how long the ambiguity will last, but I will not hold my breath for smooth syncing of all kind of items over iCalendar...
