[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] WM5 -- alternate solutions?

[FlameFlash]

I've found that transferring files and backing up data is easier WITHOUT 
TMS, in fact.  I've never had much luck with the USB mount, probably a 
curse of the cradle being USB 1.0 or 1.1 but I generally use a Lexar 
Media Card Reader and with the expansion port back up my data to a 
Compact Flash card and use said card to transfer files faster (the 
reader is USB 2.0 and mounts just like any disc drive).

That's also how I transfer my music files to my PDA, in fact... and 
pictures.  While wonderful features, they're still too slow for my taste 
(and iTunes and iPhoto too sensitive--that and I generally use ogg 
format to conserve space on my compact flash card.)
