[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Correction! Coming Soon: Missing Sync for Windows Mobile

[Adrian Burgess]

Quite.  Missing Sync for PocketPC has NEVER worked reliably for me, and
having to pay for an upgrade to a piece of software that doesn't work
reliably doesn't strike me as a good deal.  The issue of problems
synchronising calendars - seemingly for anyone not in a standard (US?)
timezone, has been ongoing, and as far as I can tell, has never been fixed.
It's not as if we could ask for a refund, as Markspace don't give them, so
we waited (semi-)patiently for nearly two years for a fix which will never
appear.

Note I'm not attacking Markspace's software here, I can understand that the
problems could possibly have been caused by Microsoft's unwillingness to
document the Windows Mobile sync protocols, I'm just annoyed that we're
being asked to pay for an upgrade to a piece of software than never worked
reliably for us in the first place so we can finally get our Mac's and PPC's
synchronised.
