== Summary ==

SynCE framework makes possible synchronization between linux and hand-held/mobiles with Windows CE/Mobile.

== Release Note ==

SynCE 0.10 provides Windows Mobile 5 synchronization. Ubuntu should update to synCE 0.10.

== Rationale ==

Ubuntu should provide synchronization support with most of the mobiles/hand-helds.

== Use Cases ==

 * Carlos wants to copy a photo that he shot from his Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. He plugs the cell phone at usb and Ubuntu mounts the folder.
 * Joana wants to backup her contacts from her hand-held. She plugs it at usb port and Ubuntu gives her an option to synchronize with evolution.

== Assumptions ==

After synce would be nice to update opensync.

== Design ==

We should provide out-of-box support with most of the mobiles.

== Implementation ==

We will bring every synce component and make it easy to use.
Initial packaging at http://jonnylamb.com/debian/

Base libs:

 * librapi2 (upgrade)
    Make RAPI calls to a Windows Mobile device, runtime libraries
    This library is equivalent to rapi.dll on a Windows machine. It allows you
    to make remote calls to your Windows Mobile device.

 * libsynce (upgrade)
    Helper library for SynCE, a tool to sync Windows Mobile devices
    The purpose of the SynCE project is to provide a means of communication with
    a Windows Mobile, or Windows CE, device from a computer running Linux,
    FreeBSD or a similar operating system.

 * librra (upgrade)
    Library for synchronisation with Windows Mobile devices
    rra provides the necessary low level magic to synchronise intelligently

    created/changed/deleted since the last time the device was contacted.
