[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Two requests

[Ken Freeman]

Thanks for the input. Both of your feature requests are ones that we often
discuss and are on our to do list.

There seems to be more and more Windows Mobile software developers making
their applications available as .CAB files (www.splashblog.com is one I just
tried for Windows Mobile Smartphone. I had used this on a Treo and now I'm
using it on my Audiovox SMT 5600. Sorry for the infomercial).

I think you will see more of this as devices include either a phone or WiFi
and users can download applications directly to their phones. Developers
wanting to offer 'over the air' access to their apps, and that is done by
offering .CAB files online.

As others have pointed out, you can try to open the .exe with Stuffit. I've
not had much luck with this, but many have. If you are not afraid of
Terminal commands check out cabextract at
http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php. This site explains that there are
different types of .exe files (installers made with Microsoft tools and
installers made with Install Sheild). Be sure to look at the link
http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/unshield.php.

I feel your pain on the issue about re-connecting. I'm not sure we can do
what you are asking for, but we'll continue to look at.
