I think we should have the infrastructure within KDE SC to sync mobile devices 
via USB and Bluetooth. 
To me (as a long time KDE user) it is one of the biggest disadvantages we have 
right now compared to other major desktop environments.

It may be a good idea to to have one (or more) GSOC projects to provide the 
infrastructure for syncing mobile devices with KDE software (Akonadi, Amarok, 
DigiKam, etc)

At the moment i use a Kolab server to sync my appointments between Kontact and 
a Nokia N80. At least on the N80 i don't use additional software as the built 
in SyncML client is able to connect to the server via WLAN.

But i don't think this is what "Joe Average" wants to do. He wants to plug his 
USB cable in or connect via Bluetooth to his desktop and hit some sync button.

IMHO the needed pieces are somewhere deep within the KDE svn: An Akonadi 
ressource for SyncML, KBluetooth and USB support. We just need someone to put 
this together.
