Hey Phil, what Pocket PC do you have? If you happen to have one with 
built-in Bluetooth you can probably transfer those files right now, 
without Missing Sync. I've paired up my iPAQ 2215 with my 12-inch 
PowerBook and simply used the Bluetooth File Exchange on the PowerBook 
to transfer files. I can also send across contacts from the iPAQ to the 
PowerBook using Bluetooth, and pull them into Address Book, but 
unfortunately I can't pull appointments into iCal.

Another route is FTP. I believe there is an FTP server with OS X, so if 
you have a network connection you can get an FTP client and transfer 
files back and forth. In fact, if you use Windows file sharing (Samba) 
under OS X you might even use File Explorer on the Pocket PC to 
transfer files, the that might be a bit of a stretch.

Basically, what I am saying is that if all you want to do is transfer 
files, there are ways that you can probably do that now without a 
full-blown synchronization product.
