[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Re: missing-sync-pocketpc-talk Digest, Vol 21, Issue 5

[Terry Thiel]

They have not updated their product in some time.  It looks to me like 
they have abandoned their Pocket PC product.  I would suggest buying 
Pocket Mac instead.  Missing Sync for Pocket PC was a waste of money 
for me.
