[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Urgent Upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.6

[Neto]

I can understand people being so anxious about MSWM5.

I am.

When you upgrade to a new version of software/harware you expect that all
major compatibility issues are fixed in a couple of weeks or months. In this
case, considering Mark/Space was already selling a product compatible with
the old versions of Windows Mobile, lead us to think the delay couldn't be
that long.

That, alone, proves that this is not a Mark/Space fault, or in competence.

No other company was able to come up with a solution for connecting a WM5 to
a OSX computer.

And this is ridiculous.

Mark/Space is the weaker link in this chain.

Apple has a hardware running intel processor, but wasn't able/care to come
up with a solution.

Even worst: Microsoft has an e-mail/calendar/contact app for the Mac and was
not able to provide compatibility for it¹s mobile device, even after the
recent upgrade!!! 
For them, sending Entourage info for WM5 devices should be EASY to program.
Of course, Microsoft either does not care or does not help providing
information on how to connect to WM5. If they did, M/S would have at least a
beta version out.

I have a Jasjar. It takes a while to sync, but I was able to create my own
workflow (unfortunately not an automator one). Everyday I manually:

* Export contacts to AddressBook
* Export future calendar events from Entourage
* Export Tasks 
* Send all this items to the Jasjar via Bluetooth.

This way, at least I can wait a more elegant solution from M/S with a
usefull device.
Takes like 10 minutes, but it works.

I¹m convinced MSWM5 is taking longer than we expect, but the fault is from
either Apple and/or Microsoft.

M/S are the good guys here.
