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

[Russell Baldwin]

Yes, I've never been able to get the mounted drive to copy anything  
but the smallest files. Copying anything large breaks the  
connections. I too use a USB2 card reader, which seems fine. You  
could also look at using pSync for backups or downloads to only copy  
the required files? I use this for iSilo and backup stuff.

SyncTunes (http://www.nesfield.co.uk/synctunes/) for iTunes files,  
seems quite good (I use only a moderate size of MP3 - it's mainly for  
in car use.

It would be nice if this could be done with the device on the cradle  
rather than via card reader. It could then be automated using the  
Missing Sync plugin example?
Any ideas you Missing Sync guys, I've registered a support call for  
this but no resolution.
