[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Events not syncing correctly with iCal

[Jon Markle]

All this manipulation . . . . I can do this better, manually!!!  The whole
thing.  What do I need an application for if it doesn't do the job for which
it is supposedly designed?

I've been following the thread, waiting to see if I should pay for and
download this new application.

>From all the indications here, it seems that this is still very much a beta
version, and I refuse to pay good money for a buggy beta.

As a consumer, I do not expect to download a synch application and yet
continue to synch my PDA with my PowerBook Mac/Entourage, manually.  That's
just insane.  

So, I'll wait until the beta becomes a true "gold" . . . And then I'll be
happy to pay good money for it, when/if it works.
