[missing-sync-palmos-talk] iCal, Palm Off by One Day

[Brian M. Criscuolo]

What you're seeing in iCal is not always what is stored in the sync  
engine. iCal often displays things wrong, or even sets the wrong date  
in the sync engine. Just like our sync code didn't work right,  
Apple's doesn't either.

Luckily, in this case, the sync engine has the correct date. There  
are other cases where it does not.
