Open source solutions like Kolab, OpenGroupware, Open-Xchange, eGroupware, 
etc. do solve all or at least most of these issues today (depending on what 
server you look at and the exact use case you have). Maybe this fact is just 
not known enough.

Yes. For KDE we decided to replace our own home-brewn solutions by OpenSync 
for KDE 4. It traditionally works well on GNOME as it's the successor of 
MultiSync and others also have said that they wanted to use it.

OpenSync has a sane modular architecture, is cross-desktop and 
cross-operating-system and there are plugins for most standard devices. In my 
opinion it's going to solve the handheld syncing problem. Hubert is right, 
give it some love :-)
