First off I think it needs Windows...
So here is my idea of how it works:
1. Get Windows
2. Install activesync
3. ...
4. ...
5. Reboot
6. Remove and Reinstall activesync
7. ...
8. ...
9. Reboot
10. Reformat and reinstall OS
11. Reinstall activesync
12. ...
13. ...
14. Project failure!
Of course. I don't have all the details...
