All this raised a new question for me. Looks like android 2.2 at least has
support for exchange servers. Are there any open souce, easy enough to set up
exchange replacements?

If so, that can be used for over the air synchronization (can be a bit harder
to setup to work outside the house without a web accessible server, but partial
solution)

I ran into citadel, but it's not clear if it can impersonate as an exchange
server. Will it, or anything else, work?

Another option seems to be to setup a funambol client, but it seems like it
requires a special app on the phone and It's not clear if it will also give me
a web access.

Any ideas in that direction?

Thanks
