What is the best way to do a single tranfer for an application, I think best
over HTTP i.e.

1: over HTTP using GPRS
2: over HTTP using 804.11 wireless network
3: over HTTP using docking

The idea is to have full synchronization where required. I am using SQLCE
but the client may have SQL2000 or MSDE.

If client has SQL Server 2000 or 2005, you could use Merge Replication
or RDA to synchronize clients with server

I'm already using Merge Replication via GPRS and the results are better
than I expected.

I'm afraid Merge Replication and RDA is not available for MSDE. That
could be your bottle-neck.

What have you planned to use? Web services maybe? I think using web
services could be a pain!

I've read in some posts that web services for example over GPRS were
really a pain, that is, very-very slow.
Merge Replication and RDA encrypt and compress data transparently for
you, that's why they are faster than web services I think. The problem
is they're coupled to Microsoft whereas web services can be accessed
from other technologies easily.

Regards.
