[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] Definitive word on release of Missing Sync for hiptop?

[Roy Marquez]

Brian:

So then what's the last word? I know that I may be simplifying things a 
bit too much, but what is what holds back M/S from releasing the 
product now that Intellisync does the same thing for PC users? I mean, 
the program accesses the same sync API that Intellisync does, so does 
the problem boil down to the fact that T-Mobile can't charge for the 
product (and you guys get the money instead). Over at hiptop.com one of 
the Danger employees say that you guys shouldn't have a problem with 
releasing the product, then T-Mobile says that you guys need to make 
the approach and you guys say that you're waiting for TMo... now I'm 
all confused.... but one thing I know.... the numbers are there to 
prove that we *want* this program... so can't you guys release it in a 
beta or sell it to us anyway? I'll pay..I just want to sync my Mac and 
my hiptop, for cying out loud!  *wink* (j/k)
