[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Changing the sync direction

I agree on the interactive/continuous sync of Active sync.  When I  
make a change at home, it is changed on the handheld as well  
automatically if connected.  I think Active sync uses the most recent  
edition of an event, it would be nice if Mark/Space did the same.   
Honestly, Active sync is great, Mark/Space should be attempting to  
duplicate it in its entirety in my opinion.

Mark/Space should have the following objectives in my opinion:

1.  Fix data base problems with sync services/entourage (custom  
recurring events especially)
2.  Continuous syncing/interactive syncing
3.  Support for Windows Mobile 5

Just my two cents.  If we all keep adding our two cents, we may come  
up to the $40 we paid for the program...

Brian,

However even though Apple does not want you doing that it is the most
desirable way. The reason being At work or school I use a PC that  
syncs my
PDA interactively. This is really great, however when I come home my Mac
wants to overwrite some of the things I have changed on my PDA. This  
is a
real pain. Not only that but my Mac is sync on demand only not  
interactive
that is good but not as good as interactive.

Just my 2¢
