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

[virbing at mac.com]

I have to agree. I was a former PocketMac user. I used PocketMac to  
connect to my hx4700 and an MXp200. I bought it because it came out  
earlier than Missing Sync. It worked ... mostly, but had some  
frustrating things that never got fixed (especially for the  
smartphone). When Missing Sync came out, I gave it a try, found it to  
be a better, more consistent product and purchased it.

When I upgraded my phone to the Cingular 8125, I knew what I was  
getting into. Now, to get all of my devices to sync, I have to use  
Missing Sync to talk to the hx4700. Then, I sync the hx4700 to my  
WinXP tablet. Then, I sync my tablet to the 8125. Now, since I run  
Apple iCal and Address Book and need to keep all of these devices in  
sync (plus my Mac at work and my wife's Mac and PPC), I am willing to  
go through all these gyrations, but I can't wait until I can sync  
both of my Windows Mobile devices to the Mac.

Besides, HP has released the WM5 upgrade for the hx4700 and I can't  
upgrade my device until I can sync it to iSync ...
