All right, installed the software onto the Intel iMac and it most
certainly does need to go universal.
Fortunately my old Mac works well enough to sync and I have .Mac or I'm
not sure what I'd do.
Anyway.
1: Upon disconnecting, either via USB or Bluetooth the program hangs for
5+ minutes. To the point of requiring a restart because no response is
possible from the computer at all.
2: Entry duplication.
This one is one I actually noticed prior to switching, but it got
worse with the iMac. If syncing is reset for any reason, the items on
the PDA (a Dell Axim x50v with the version it shipped with). This
especially has occurred with the fact I have multiple calendars. If it
is set to grab from all calendars, when it syncs it makes new entries in
the main calendar as opposed to realizing that one of the calendars has
the information it's about to sync and then leaves well-enough alone.
The problem was mostly fixed with the update to 2.0.2 but it still
decides to do the strange things on occasion.
3: E-mail syncing. I have my Mail program on the PDA set up with IMAP
folders to receive my personal and work e-mails. The problem is, I MUST
have it in the USB cradle and with the AC adapter plugged into the
cradle for it to actually download any e-mails. (Granted I can turn on
my wifi card, but that creates an extra step.)
On the positive, until the disconnect bug, when I first paired the iMac
and the PDA using Bluetooth it was blazingly fast. I very much
appreciate the functionality to allow connection via Bluetooth. My Mac
was even tricked into thinking it was an extra microphone and headset,
very nice. I look forward to the Universal app release.
Thank you,
FF
