Yes, also see below...

As you also pointed out, the application are "only" ported. In fact
those are standard GPE applications with a modified UI. So the, what is
called business logic today, is the same as for the GPE applications.

That being said there are several things.
First for the API.
At the lowest level all GPE PIM apps use SQLite for data storage. So if
you want full low level access then you can simply use SQL queries on
the databases (which are stored in $HOME/.gpe/...).

At the next level there are seperate libraries that help accessing the
respective databases in a more user friendly way, those are libgpepimc,
libtododb, and libgpevtype. For reference to those either look at the
GPE documentation on the GPE homepage (http://gpe.handhelds.org) or -
well - read the source Luke ;)

Concerning syncing there was/is a project as part of Goolgle's summer of
code based on the new OpenSync framework to enable PIM synchronisation
with a desktop - currently Linux desktop.
So if you interested in this then I would suggest to have a look at this
SOC project and OpenSync.

Hmm... anything else?
Ah, yes, questions concenring the GPE apps are probably more appropriate
on the GPE mailinglist, also mentiond on the GPE webpage (s.a.).

Thanks for your interest!
