I know of no clients that would connect to OGo, but there are several 
clients that can (at least in theory) synchronize their calendar/todo 
with OGo. HoweverI don't know any that are available on Win32 without a 
major hassle.

If you can't sync your program directly with GroupDAV, you can use 
SyncML protocol as an intermediate layer.  Usually this means installing 
Funambol synchronization server and  GroupDAV plugin for it. GroupDAV 
plugin handles communication between Funambol and OpenGroupware. This 
way you can synchronize pretty much any SyncML capable program/device 
with OGo. Of course you will run into various problems (time issues, 
strange error messages, etc.) but it can be done. You can even (try to) 
sync OGo with Outlook by using the Funambol outlook plugin (=plugin for 
outlook) and GroupDAV plugin.
