Having used PocketMac, I can make a small correction:

The one way PocketMac seems better than the Missing Sync is through *the
advertising* of Word and Excel synchronization.

PocketMac does not do Word and Excel synchronization. It only does

- (slowly) copy of PocketWord and PocketExcel files (i.e. backup, not sync)
- display them on screen, assuming they only contain 7bit characters (it screws
up accents like é)
- (manually) save unaccented PocketWord files to RTF
- PocketExcel cannot be saved

Of course on the fly (optional, upon copy between the PPC and the Mac, as
ActiveSync) or batch (drag a bunch of files or folders on a conversion tool)
conversion of PocketXyz files is a feature I would love to see in the Missing
Sync.
