Hm. This one looks indeed interesting, but am I correct to see that 
it's not an iSync 'plugin' and depends on the PalmDesktop sofware (wich 
I'm told to avoid + I don't want to use multiple systems to sync the 
palm - I seem to prefer iSync / Missing Sync ;) )?

Hm... don't think that manual is online right?
Talking about the website: perhaps some pages with screenshots would be 
nice? ;)

Does anyone know of any reviews of the MS Palm, btw? I've found one 
about the PocketPC one, but about the Palm version is nothing to find 
with Google... tnx

Well... As you do seem to support all Apple included tools as iTunes, 
iPoto, etc... The obviouse choice seems Mail then, right? ;)
