So, does anyone currently use a bluetooth enabled PPC with mark/space's the Missing Sync for Poket PC and their mac? I want to know how that software works too... since my powerbook is my primary computer and all i use the PC for is this forum and solitare... (no, seriously, that's it)

The last company I worked for shared a building with a company who did designs on glass. As a result we did some free tech support work for them, they were all on macs with the exeption of the accountant. During my time there I cant recall a single call or visit where a complaint was made regarding the missing sunc software we'd installed for them, or any calls about config issues. The software was installed prior to me joining the company, but my understanding of it is that it just worked. The syn was done between a powerbook and a few powermacs, and the handheld device was imates xda and xda 2 on an orange contract.

I cant say categorically that there were no issues, but I do know we didnt get asked to look into any issues either.

Hope this helps

Jason

Been trying to decide between that and the ASUS A716 or A730W. I like the Dell price, but the third party is... uh... not Dell.

well, the reason that i went with dell is because i've got a buddy who has the exact model i bought. I mean, virtually all PPCs are the same things in different cases. From what i understand they aren't like PCs with all these different components. I mean, I got a better waranty w/ dell and in the tragic event that i ever need any tech support... which i highly highly doubt, i can deal w/ their ppl. I never looked at anything but Dell or HP, so i don't know about the ASUS. I'm pretty sure they can't provide the waranty of tech support ( or lack there of )...

Not to sure if this would be better, I just got a sonyericsson p910i and its great, doesn't have wi-fi but has all the other features and is a phone. Smart phones seem to be taking over from the PDA's any way, also it sinc's pretty well via bluetooth without any problems. Get a 1gb memory stick and you can go a fair way with it. Only don't use it on a Qantas flight they get annoyed when you say it has a flight mode and make you turn it off anyway.
