If you're speaking of an actual port of Chandler to
PDA and phone platforms, it's probably way too
premature to start speaking of targets and strategies.

On the other hand, if you're speaking merely of
passing data from Chandler to PDAs and phones by way
of syncing, well that should be as simple as getting
the appropriate syncing agent written and plugged in
to whatever bit of Chandler is going to be managing
connections to the repository. See my ChandlerDaemon
wiki page for my thoughts on that.

Speaking of which, I need to do up a syncing wiki
page...
