I installed the Windows Device Emulator with the "Pocket PC" image on a
Windows XP box. Then I installed the Funambol Windows Mobile
application on the virtual mobile device and tried sync'ing with my
Funambol server.
It works! Or as well as it works with the Funambol Outlook sync tool.
Appointments from the server are copied down to the device, but not the
other way around - appointments on the device do not copy to the server
and are lost on the second sync. The sync also completes in
dramatically less time then it takes the Synthesis client on the Palm to
decide it failed.
This software is free:

You need netsvwrap.msi, efp.msi, and V1Emulator.zip
Other than requiring Windows it works pretty well. You can Active Sync
with the device just as if it was a physical device, and the Pocket PC's
network interface is bridged with the PC's network interface.
