[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] Just tested with a Sidekick 3 (+ feature requests)

[Raven Zachary]

Missing Synch for hiptop works fine with a T-Mobile Sidekick 3. I  
just performed a synch.

However, I think it's time for Mark/Space to work on an update with  
the following features:

* Better identification of "corrupt" address book and calendar  
entries with the ability to fix them. Right now, it's a shot in the  
dark. I covered this topic in my recent blog entry on www.rinzai.com.  
However, I am still having problems with a corrupt calendar right  
now, which I have temporarily just left off synch. I need to get this  
resolved, as the calendar in question is my work calendar! I sure  
would like some tool,s from Mark/Space to help identify and resolve  
problems like this.

* Synchronization of the instant messenger contact fields. This does  
not come across from Address Book right now.

* The ability to limit the synch range of calendar entries. I don't  
want it to synch old calendar items, nor do I want to go into iCal  
and have it auto delete old entries. I'd like to have iCal store a  
history of my meetings, without deleting them. The best solution here  
is for Mark/Space to add this as a preference.

* The ability during a synch to select which records on the Sidekick  
3 will overwrite the records on the Desktop, based on which record is  
newer. I am always fearful that a synch is going to mess up the  
master data on my Desktop. I'd like to see which records from the  
Sidekick 3 are newer than the Desktop and do an individual approval  
in those cases.

* Better error notification during sync. The log often will show an  
error, but the application will hang with no notification.

* Status and controls in the Mac OS X menu bar.
