[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] The "Missing" Missing Sync for Windows Mobile

[Shane Lord]

To be honest, I am disappointed that Missing Sync for Windows Mobile  
is, well, missing... but I am still eagerly awaiting it's arrival and  
will purchase it on the day it is released. My reasons why are:

1. I have tried PocketMac Lite and PocketMac Pro, and both are  
software products that have caused no end of problems for me...
- Multiple syncing issues
- The installation failed multiple times
- The un-installation left pieces of the software all over my Mac
- The program locks up intermittently
- They (PocketMac) do not allow and have no plans to allow syncing a  
PocketPC and a MS Smartphone to one Mac... just can't be done (they  
sell you two pieces of different software for it - as if they are  
that different from each other!).

2. I have tried using a Palm Tungsten T5 instead... and whilst the  
device is great and all, the isync conduit from Apple is shockingly  
lacking in features. Yes it syncs my contacts and calendars etc, but  
it does not:
- support Categories (such as multiple calendars in iCal or groups in  
Address Book)
- Calendar Locations in iCal
- Multiple address types and extra fields (as supported in the new  
Palm apps and Address Book on Mac)

So I am more than happy to wait for a PocketPC sync that will  
actually do everything for my handheld that it is capable of doing...  
I am sick of being treated as a second class citizen because I choose  
to use a Mac... and that is how Palm and PocketMac treat us at the  
moment.

So bring it on MarkSpace... I'll keep checking your website for the  
big "it's done!" message so I can get on with getting on.

Oh - I don't work for them either :)

Thanks,
Shane.
