Folks, get a grip!  Their communication has been crystal clear: 
Micro$loth changed the rules, pulled the rug out from under them, 
communicates between devices in a completely different way, and then 
doesn't document it adequately.  In fact, their own sync software, 
ActiveSync 4.1, doesn't even work well with Windoze.

So, surprise, surprise, the MarkSpace folks are venturing out into 
uncharted waters, and cannot possibly tell you when Missing Sync will 
be ready--though I'm sure they'd like nothing better than to be able 
to.  I'll bet you money they're a lot more frustrated about it than 
you are, working hard on a product that brings in no money until they 
do finish it.  But you can rest assured they're making a maximum 
effort.

Why is that so difficult to understand?

[And no, I have no connection (get it? ;-) ) with MarkSpace except as 
a future first-time customer when they do release Missing Sync.] 
Cheers,
