GUI Syncing tool

I've been thinking about syncing tools, one of the only things my linux box doesn't do is sync with my p900 (syncml aside for one second) so the program I would like to see created looks something like this:

Rational: when I see kmobiletools direction in their .5 alpha screeenshots it apears they are going down the route of a badly designed palm desktop clone, trying to intergrate a massive amount of functionality unrelated features mearly because it has something to do with a mobile device. the above attempt to be a gui to allow you to create powerful syncing configurations which would allow you to automate and easily deal with many kinds of syncing.

Questions and critism welcome.

That looks really cool. I'd love something that lets me sync my phone and some sort of contact manager using SyncML. Bonus points for syncing with a web contact list too (Gmail?). Got a beta yet? ;-)

Looks like an interesting application. Is that 'harmonist' a concept or is that an application one can get somewhere?

Seems like a good idea, it sucks that I don't have a PDA or something else that could benefit from this tool at the moment.

Offtopic:

How did you create those text boxes for the captions explaining stuff in the screen captures?

I have a P990i and would really like to be able to sync it on my Gentoo box. As for now I have to back it up and sync it on a Windows XP machine.

Does anybody know Why syncing P800/P900/P910 is such a problem on linux? They all sync flawlessly on Mac OSX.

Is the standard for syncing / standard for the P9XX calendar file not open source?

You should be able to sync with the KDE PIM apps using kmobiletools, or with a choice of PIMs using myltisync.
Not done it yet but I'm working on it...

What I can't find a way to do is backup the *entire phone* - installed apps, themes and all - like you can with the PC Suite on Windows.
Does anyone know of a linux prog which will do this?
