So right now it will always default to sending its own data in vCalendar 1.0 (but will not complain about receiving iCal 2.0, so one way sync or refresh from client will work in 2.0). As all clients I've seen so far work with 1.0 this isn't really a high priority improvement, but if there's a need it won't take too long to implement. (similarly this would allow vCard 3.0 as the encoders and decoders are already implemented) Almost – it will understand iCal 2.0 from the phone (in fact the decoder can handle any sort of “soup” of vCal 1.0 and iCal 2.0 encoding) and can output to iCal 2.0 as well, but it lacks the ability to detect the client’s format preference.

BTW. Do you support both iCal 2.0 and vCalendar 1.0 for calendar synchronization? Thanks for your great SyncML service!

Right now I have subscribed to 4 calendars and would like to have them pushed to my mobile. That's the single major feature for me :-) Thanks!
