[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Updating contacts with Address Book

In an experiment I found I was able to update address books to my  
winmobile5 device (T-Mobile MDA) via bluetooth.  I'm using a D-Link  
DWB-120M USB Blue Tooth adapter on my mac (via the USB hub in my  
monitor).

I know it isn't the same as syncing but it is very helpful and makes  
me think other things may be possible.

Anyway, once you have bluetooth enabled on your mac, you'll notice a  
new menu option in address book called "Send This Card...".  The  
process is pretty self evident after that.

One thing to keep in mind is that in my testing if I selected more  
than one card to send, it would send all of the information in all of  
the cards,  but on my MDA I would only get the first contact;s name  
added with all of the contact information from the other contacts in  
his card.  Really weird but hey!  I can move contacts without any  
external application...
