In response to a few questions/comments ("Why Outlook and iCal?"), I  
have Outlook at work (enterprise directory/scheduling/calendars,  
etc), iCal at home -- where I've switched to mostly Macs.  The office  
is a PC shop -- a couple thousand devices on a private network.  The  
Smartphone has been my neutral link, conveying data between  
locations. MS's ActiveSync synched calendars (with my Smartphone as  
intermediary) from these two environments just fine.

What I want now that I have Macs at home is a union of both  
environments -- iCal data synched to my work computer and Outlook  
data synched to my Mac.  E.g., the kids' camp schedules meet work  
commitments.  Reportedly, The Missing Sync does this, as do other  
products like PocketMac.  I'm wary of using a product, though, that  
works "most of the time" -- the group chatter is disconcerting.

Has anyone used The Missing Sync to synch iCal and Outlook via a  
Smartphone (Audiovox 5600)?

Thank you for your feedback.


Jim
