  Zaurus Mac Sync  will sync the OPIE  and Mac OS X PIM Applications

Zaurus Mac Sync works with OpenZaurus V3.2 running OPIE V1.0 and Mac OSX V 10.3.  It may work with other  set ups, but that is the set up I am using.

Currently Zaurus Mac Sync syncs the Address Books.  It does a true sync and not just a copy.  For example, if a phone number is changed on the Zaurus after the last sync and it has not been changed on the OS X Address Book, it will be updated on the OS X Address Book and vice versa.  There is a sync master setting, but it is only used if the same entry is changed in both Address Books since the last sync.

I amworking on using AppleScript to read the iCal ToDo list and passing that information in to the Cocoa application so I can use the same sync engine.  I plan to do the same for the iCal Calendar.

Zaurus Mac Sync is still in development stage.  You could lose data, so please back up before you try to sync. The OS X Address Book can be backed up by clicking on the File Menu and selecting  Back Up Database.  Trust me, it works very well.  The Zaurus Address Book can be backed up by going in to a File Manager on your Zaurus and navigating to the /root/Applications/addressbook directory and copying addressbook.xml to another location.

Make sure you have Fast Load turned off on the Zaurus Address Book. To check hold the stylus down on the Address Book icon on the Zaurus until the Properties window comes up. If Fast load is checked, uncheck it and hit the OK button in the upper right corner.
