The upcoming Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring release will boast the easiest ever support for synchronizing with Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices in any distribution. The adventurous can already try out the support in the current 2008 Spring pre-release repositories, by following the instructions here. Mandriva has uploaded a video demonstrating how easy it is to synchronize with a Windows Mobile 6 device right out of the box with Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Support is included for synchronizing with both KDE (KDE PIM) and GNOME (Evolution). Similarly easy synchronization is also possible with many Nokia phones and with Blackberry devices.

Mandriva has really gotten its act together.
Synchronization is a key area that has traditionally been immature in the linux desktop. If Mandriva through opensync can really fix this, it will be a huge relief for many of my customers.
I am doing some prep work for a deployment and would love to hear that Mandriva is ready to offer a corporate desktop release based on the 2008 Spring code. I need a minimum of three years of support for all my deployment, five been the sweet point, but I also need something newer than Mandriva's last corporate desktop.
Maybe Adam will pop by with some news about when their next corporate desktop will be released.
