Java ME Calendar Sync to Sun Calendar Server

Stefano De Toni from Sun Italy demoed his cal sync solution at the Pavilion.

It contains two different modules:
1 - Conversion from Palm Datebook to iCalendar format for one click backups with cal-emea from the dock. All written in Java.

2 - For a two way sync from any MIDP 2.0 device he has developed a calendar midlet that sync with the edge cal.

To extend the integration with the device further Stefano will implement the PIM APIs to be able to populate the midlet from the device cal. For full synchronization with the device there is a limitation in many PIM implementations that prevents the midlet from reading the "last modified" attribute.

I would like to see a head-less midlet doing the end-to-end sync between the residential cal and calc-emea. Or, even just the backup feature for the devices not supporting the "last modified" attribute.
