Love the Mac > Palm Syncing Woes

http://ask.metafilter.com [Ask MetaFilter | Community Weblog] From what I've read, if you don't buy Missing Sync, a Palm is essentially useless for the Mac unless you want to use Palm Desktop. I can understand your hesitation to shell out the $40 if you don't know if you want to keep the Palm.

[Brian2.blogspot.com] Brian2Brian: home of the other Brian: When I got my iBook this summer, I liked the printouts you could make with iCal. It was buggy, though, especially the To Do items, which are apparently an afterthought.

http://bopuc.levendis.com [Bopuc.levendis.com] bopuc/weblog: More camphone info: The P900 and the 6600 use Symbian 7 which is totally syncable with Mac OS X via Bluetooth. The Treo runs PalmOS and so far I've seen no indication of good support of Mac OS, nevermind Bluetooth (it don't have it).

http://www.fredshome.org [Fredshome.org] Fred goes from Linux to an iBook (Part 3) | Fred's Home: iSync doesn't work (well maybe it does if you like to spend as much on your phone/PDA as you do on your car), iTunes is more or less ok but the pushing of both the iPod and the music store is a bit irritating until you figure how to switch it off and the default choices for MP3 ripping aren't all that great. Of course you're not supposed to sync with anything but an iPod.

[Zachfine.com] In Beijing » Treo 600: In PalmOS (or at least, the version of PalmOS I’m running), there’s really no filesystem access to speak of without additional software, multimedia is an afterthought, multitasking can only be achieved in a non-elegant way (no offense meant to authors of Palm application switching software, I just mean inelegant in that it really should be an OS function), and additional hardware support is lacking (I’m referring most specifically to 802.11b CF cards). Palm’s defense over the years has been to point out that these features are all requirements of full-fledged computers, not necessary for an organizer or phone, and would just add bloat to the OS.
