The original class seems to have been writter just to workaround some old limitations for the windows mobile client: - the inability to use DateTime in vTodo's DUE attribute, stripping off the Time part; - the use of custom values in the PRIORITY attribute (1,2,3 instead of 0-9); Using any recent synthesis syncml client (i tested the iphone and the android ones), these limitations doesn't exists anymore; but since they are forced anyway, the resulting vTodo gets corrupted: - every vTodo's due date is changed to time 00:00; - every vTodo's priority is changed to either 1,2,3; I tried to comment out all of the class's methods, and syncs started working flawless. Unfortunately i had no WindowsMobile or Palm devices to test this change with, but is suppose that since all the synthesis's products are based on the same library, the limitation is gone for all of these devices.

I'll try to retrieve the $GLOBALS['backend']->state->deviceInfo for ios and android devices so that the check can be improved.
