Jeez, people, so the Tiger version is a bit delayed, what software  
doesn't get delayed now and then, and besides, what's our choice?  
PocketMac never worked one time for me, never synced correctly or  
completely, moved dates, ate data, duplicated contacts by the  
hundreds. And their "tech service" is a blind mailbox as near as I  
can tell. Never a response past the first "send us your log and we'll  
get back to you." NEVER, and I submitted DOZENS of "tickets" for help  
and phoned them dozens of times at MY expense. At least Mark Space  
attempted to help me (never got a working sync here either  
unfortunately) many times, and when they hit a snag they couldn't  
pass, they gave me my money back without me asking!

I'll stick around here and hope they get a Tiger version working,  
whenever. The damage is already done - by me spending $700+ bucks on  
a PocketPC pda phone thanks to listening to PocketMac's totally false  
claims. I never should have left the Palm platform and would go back  
today if the Samsung wasn't such a nice machine and already paid for.

My "solution" was to also use Sprite Backup onto a Smart Media card,  
so at least I get backups, then I put the backups into a folder on  
the Mac for upkeeping. Once or twice a year to archive my calendar to  
print for taxes and documentation of my life, such that it is ;-) - i  
backup reluctantly to a Windows laptop running Outlook and print the  
Calendar from there.
