It'd seem that they're few and far between -- I made the assumption  
based on other stuff I'd read (syncing a PalmOS device on Linux) that  
it'd be possible to do with a Windows CE device.

I did find the SynCE Project[1], which at least looks like a start. I  
haven't done much digging, as our corporate collaboration software is  
GroupWise, soon to become Exchange (Don't ask).

Ah, sorry; I was assuming you were still with IBM, which I assume  
runs Notes or something similar, which'd make synchronisation from  
UNIX an entirely different ball-game.
