Familiar and OPIE have come a long way since I got into Linux PDAs.  I
have never had any luck syncing it with Evolution, nor have I even tried
with Outlook.  But on the other hand, I didn't try really hard, either,
and someone has probably released something since last time I tried to
make it work...  just look through mail lists at handhelds.org.

I have heard that OPIE DOES sync well with KDesktop...  I don't use KDE
(let the flamewars begin) so I haven't had a chance to try it out. 
However if it does sync easily, there could be some kind of connector
between KDesktop and Evolution.  Who knows?

If you find anything useful, let me know though, and if you get into it,
let's compare PDAs at the next meeting!  ;-)  Mine's a Compaq iPAQ H3600
(old, I know, but good).
