You've gone over my head with that question.

I can get it to sync using Qtopia, but as a PIM, the Qtopia desktop is not 
something I find enjoyable in use.

I haven't been able to get MultiSync or KitchenSync to work my system yet, so 
perhaps if I had better luck with those, I'd have a different take on 
Zaurus/Linux desktop syncing.
