my own sync-software

[mikli485]

hi everybody!

i'm really tired of all software for synchronization between desktop and ppc... i have an xda mini (or whatever you guys call them, qtek s100) and i run pocket informant...

on my pc i've currently got outlook (which i don't like very much), and syncing using activesync is a pain in the * (for many reasons which i don't have time right now to explain)!

now to my question... i would like to create my own software for my pc, with a simple layout, a database and a few functions to be able to manage my PIM on my desktop... the problem is the syncing... it should be able to communicate with my device through usb...

i also need do know more about the way my device stores contacts, tasks, appointments etc in databases... no point in doing the usb communication if i don't know what to get from the device...

does anyone know alot about these things, or perhaps where to turn?

thanks!

Have you heard about the commercial software Intellisync? It's expensive but better than ActiveSync. Maybe you'll give that a try before you start programming.

no, haven't tried that.... the thing with most commersial software is that it's often crowded with functionality you don't need... as i said, i would like a simple program with just a few features and functions...

however, i'll take a look at intellisync, but i still would be very happy for any replies to my first question...
