iSync 1.1 also released
iSync lets you manage your contacts, calendars and To Do lists, and Safari bookmarks across multiple Mac OS X computers and devices (such as an iSync-compatible mobile phone, Palm OS device, or iPod), so you always have your most current information with you. To sync a Palm OS device you will need to install the new iSync 1.1 Palm Conduit after installing iSync 1.1.
New features in iSync 1.1 include synchronization of Safari bookmarks, support for a wider range of cell phones, and improved stability and reliability.
If you plan to use iSync with a supported Bluetooth phone, you should update your Bluetooth software to version 1.2.1 using Software Update.

Software Update says:
QuickTime 6.3 delivers a number of important updates, including:
- Automatic detection of streaming transport
- Improvements to DV audio and video synchronization
- Enhanced support for Keynote, iMovie, and iDVD
Ah I see the word "improvements". That always triggers my update willingness.

Note to DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Pro Users:
Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD Studio Pro version 1.5.1 and later are qualified for use with QuickTime 6.3.
*Will FCP4 play nice with earlier versions of QT?

Stuff is released on Tuesdays because not everyone works on weekends so Monday is the first day back, but they use Monday to do last minuite touches, prepare presentations etc for Tuesday. Lots of companies release on Tuesday.
Downloaded and installed and I see no new speed improvements or problems. It just seems to be the same as before except with the mentioned additions. I installed it on my Powerbook G4 550, I will try my other Macs later.
Edit: One improvement noticed in iTunes, importing in the AAC codec is now a bit quicker (about 10%).

QT 6 Pro Upgrade Path?
If any one comes across info on upgrade path from QT 6 Pro ---> QT 6.3 Pro, please post it. Just bought QT6Pro about a month ago, and though i don't think i'll need to be authoring 3GPP content, would be fun to see what it's all about.
Thanks

If you have QT 6.0, then you should be able to upgrade to 6.3 and maintain you Pro status. Generally the QT software is the same except you purchase a key to "unlock" the pro features.
I bought QT 5 and 6 pro and have been able to upgrade each point release by just downloading from software update.

Downloaded and running!
Ok well got it up and running and so far it seems to be just like before. Nothing really big and noticable yet. I'll have a play around with it more and see what happens. I mainly watch mpg movies with it so ill see if there is an improvement with that side of it and see how it runs with iMovie and FCExpress.

Re: iSync 1.1 also released
Glad to see they've increased markedly the number of phones supported by iSync. It looks like now one can get an isync compatible phone pretty easily (if buying new).

I really wish US Cellular in my area would support *any* bluetooth phone. Although preferably one that iSync supports...
And iSynch will support CDMA-based phones = Sprint PCS Vision. The Sony Ericsson T608 will support CDMA and be a phone available for Sprint PCS Vision on the 3G wireless networks. Looks like Motorola will have a couple of CDMA phones as well (v60i and T720).
Re: Palm overwriting iCal/Address Book?
Why would you do that? Either use iCal and AddressBook with iSync, or use PalmDesktop and iSync. Besides, sounds like a feature Palm would have to implement not Apple.
