Bonjour, Pascal! C'est longtemps depuis que vous avez écrit au sujet du 
KPilot, non?

That's right. All of the 'new' fields in the contacts application (newer than 
the OS3.5 devices like the m50x series) are not synced, and cannot be synced 
yet because the underlying libraries KPilot is based on don't have support 
for that yet. There is a pilot-link 0.12 coming soon, which _does_ have 
support for the new contacts fields, so after that is available, support will 
slowly work its way into KPilot. It is a matter of finding time or developers 
to do so, though.

Same - the pilot-link libraries don't give any support for this, since it's 
new in OS5. This _won't_ be in 0.12.0, but might show up later.

The Pilot doesn't (didn't?) have appointments that span midnight. So your 
appointment is really one from 29/01 13:30 - 29/01 23:59 _and_ 30/01 0:00 - 
30/01 23:59 _and_ ... ; so there should be 7 entries, but some should start 
of end at midnight. Maybe newer Pilots support longer appointments -- again, 
this might show up eventually, manpower and budget willing.

Little bugs.

I don't know. I doubt it.
