Managing SmartPhones/PDAs of Windows Mobile in Linux

I thought Windows and Linux were enemies. Well, it seems not... What is best, the big old desktop/surface computer or a small 3inch screen of a SmartPhone or PDA? I'd prefer the big stuff that can easily be gripped. I am not alone, I know it when my friends and you guys ask if phone management is possible in Linux. The answer is, very possible. This is very true if you are running Windows Mobile. All what you need is SynCE. Awailable at SourceForge, it makes your life much simple. Just plugin your phone before starting SynCE and you are done.
