<hr />
<div>This page will describe how to ''synchronize'' data on Maemo devices with other devices. Links to 'standard' behaviour would be nice and, of course, solutions to unsupported exchanges too.<br />
<br />
=N900=<br />
<br />
==SyncML==<br />
<br />
The N900 (preproduction) provides SyncML over Bbluetooth and USB but not IP.<br />
<br />
You can synchronize your contacts from<br />
<br />
* Other devices (confirmed to work with N95). When Contacts or Calendar application is started for the first time it automatically suggests data import.<br />
<br />
* PC Suite<br />
<br />
=== HTTP support ===<br />
<br />
[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/syncevolution SyncEvolution] supports synchronization for arbitary HTTP based SyncML sources, but as the writing of this (2009-11-05) precompiled binaries for OS2009 Fremantle where not yet available.<br />
<br />
=N8x0=<br />
<br />
==GPE==<br />
[http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/ GPE] is a suite of applications that was ported to Maemo. Search for GPE in the [http://downloads.maemo.org downloads section] for your version of Maemo. (You'll probably want GPE Calendar, GPE Contacts, gpesyncd to start with.)<br />
These are standalone applications, there's no integration with the Maemo address book. You'll not find data from GPE in the Mail client or Chat.<br />
<br />
==SyncML==<br />
[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/syncevolution SyncEvolution] provides support for SyncML via http. This means you can sync against services like [http://www.scheduleworld.com/ Scheduleworld] or [http://my.funambol.com/ MyFunambol] on the web (more services [http://syncevolution.org/documentation/compatibility listed here]), but you can not use it to sync directly via USB or bluetooth.<br />
<br />
The advantage of SyncEvolution is that it syncs directly to the main system database on your device, which means: phone numbers are available from the internet call application, email addresses are visible in Modest etc. Unfortunately, the latest version 0.9 is not yet available for Maemo, so you have to be content with 0.8 which lacks a graphical user interface and Google integration.<br />
<br />
When you use SyncEvolution, you'll want a more advanced contacts application to display information like postal address or birthday. This information is synced to your device but remains invisible in the Maemo Contacts-application. [http://www.pimlico-project.org/contacts.html Pimlico Contacts], though no longer maintained, is a working application to let you view and edit all fields. (Be warned: Pimlico contacts isn't properly hildonized and lacks a few icons. It really looks a mess, but it works.)<br />
