[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Category Translation

[Ken Freeman]

Taken from page 8 of the Missing Sync PPC Manual.pdf.

NOTE: At this time Missing Sync does NOT map the categories of handheld  
events with iCal calendar names. While this
may change in a future release, we chose NOT to map the categories  
because iCal does not have a true category field
and mapping the calendar name as a handheld shared category means that  
the Address Book, To Do and other Pocket
PC apps would include the same iCal names as categories that often  
wouldn’t make sense (e.g. Holidays). A bigger
issue is that the handheld allows you to mark multiple categories, but  
does NOT allow you to mark a primary category. In
this case, there was not a clear choice as to which iCal calendar the  
event should belong to (e.g. should the same event
be added to multiple iCal calendars, or just the first matching  
alphabetically?)
