SyncML products for iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)
The apps below provide synchronisation based on the open vendor independent standard called SyncML (or OMA-DS). Please don't expect these apps to just sync with anything! That's not what they offer.
These apps do offer great SyncML compatibility. If your server or service is actually conforming to the SyncML standard and not only claims to be, these apps will sync just fine
Please note however - today, SyncML is a legacy standard, and it has been largely replaced by more recent technologies (in particular CalDAV/CardDAV).
In all cases - for setting up SyncML you need a SyncML server URL, a login (user/password) and the so called server paths for each type of data to synchronize. Don't ask me for these - the only people who can really tell are those that provide the SyncML service or server software!

Privacy statement for the SyncML apps for iOS
The plan44.ch SyncML apps do not transfer any data by default, but only when the user actively configures it as follows:
- When SyncML synchronisation is configured by the user with a remote server, the apps will exchange only user-selected personal data (contacts, calendar data, tasks) with that server using the SyncML protocol (which is the only purpose of these apps).
- For diagnosis, the user can choose to log the next SyncML synchronisation session. This log is stored locally on the iOS device, but the user can choose to send the log to plan44.ch. In this case, the contents of the session log, which also contains some user data, will be securely sent to plan44.ch's server in Switzerland. plan44.ch keeps the logs confidential and only uses them to diagnose technical problems with the synchronisation.
