[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] "No demo, no buy"... ridiculous...

[Gordon Mapes]

Why does everyone want to use a pocket pc when everyone seems to be mac heads? Get a palm that works. Pocketpc is a microsoft product and is meant for pc's! Microsoft can't even get their active sync to work!  Give these guys a chance to develop something for you pocket pc people. It will work better than anything out there.

How many people here have tried the OS X Jaguar Demo? Or rather, what 
about the Final Cut Pro demo? Better yet, the iDVD demo? May work with 
a third party drive? Probably not. Will it work if I install my own 
external SuperDrive? "Your milage may vary..." No demo, hopefully 
doesn't mean no buy.  Just wait until the software is released. Then 
someone with your particular brand will take the risk, and if it works 
flawlessly, will post it here. If not, then any problems will be posted 
and over time will most likely be hammered out.

PocketMac does have a demo. But, again, from my experience, and from 
others who are on this list, that doesn't mean your particular device 
will work, even if it is on the list. I have a Toshiba e330. Nada, 
nothing, no sync.

I have been a user of Missing Sync for the Clie, and have found that 
Mark/Space does a great job of constantly updating the software to 
include new models and incorporating current models alike. Especially 
through the OS 9 to OS X transition; and again from the Palm OS 4 to 
Palm OS 5 period.  Some models have taken longer than others.

Having said all that, I am still having difficulty waiting until the 
16th for the PocketPC version of Missing/Sync...
