[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Categories Sync Suggestion

[Wolfgang]

Teejay,

I did not check the latest Tiger documentation in depth (and if I was, 
I wouldn't be allowed to discuss this here anyway), but what I could 
see from other conduits is, that you can define your own GUI for your 
conduit.

If my suggestion should not be implementable using the "main" conduit 
view (what you get if you click onto the PocketPC icon), you should be 
able to create an "advanced" dialog which has all these PocketPC 
specific features - and I can think of a lot of them.

And I will never mind a developer of a nice piece of software seeking 
my help for improving it.

Regards,
Wolfgang
