Defenitely! vCard and vCal/iCal is absolutely needed for data exchange
between devices (think of OBEX).

Nope, sorry. I tried several times without any success. I think we can
cancel this for now. I also talked to Miguel de Icaza (spelling?) about
it and he sais that SyncML is around for quite some time now but noone
has really cared about it. It is big and a lot of work which is
eventually not worth the effort. Something more simple could be better.
