[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Windows Mobile 5

[Peter Kim]

Guys, stop giving Mark Space such a hard time. I'm sure they're
working as hard as they can on getting WM5 support done. Don't act as
if Mark Space is somehow obligated to make your WM5 device work with
your Mac; this is one of the consequences of being a Mac user. If you
REALLY want a PDA that works with the Mac, you should have gotten a
Palm or a WM2003 device.

If anything, the party that deserves most of the blame is Apple. They
could easily incorporate WM5 support into iSync or make some Mark
Space employees very happy by buying them out for a few million
dollars, but Jobs' notorious stubbornness is getting in the way of
doing something that would actually benefit his customers.
