Actually, Mac users can do this too, sort of. I have two Applescripts
that I got somewhere, one that produces a file that can be uploaded to
the DTI for my address book, and one that does the same for my Calendar.
So, using these, I can upload my addresses and appointments, for free,
using the Desktop Interface.

The problem is it's a pain, so I end up not doing it regularly. And it
works in only one direction, so it's not really syncing. If I enter an
appointment in the SideKick, there's no way to sync it to my Mac.

If Handspring releases a Treo 610 with Bluetooth, I'm outta here both for
Danger and T-Mobile (though I might still be a Mark/Space customer in
this case).
