Re: Palm and OS X support
Personal Organizer (formerly Consultant) has OS X sync support now. I haven't tried it, for reasons mentioned below. You can download the conduit here. Now Up-to-Date, on the other hand, has not improved, and IMO has become worse under Power On's management. All the old useless modal dialog boxes have remained, and the new features aren't particularly useful. The Now Up-to-Date Palm sync is horribly broken, especially if you have a laptop and switch time zones. It requires that you change your sync type so the Mac overwrites the Palm every time you change time zones, otherwise you end up with every single event duplicated. And even if you don't do that, duplicate events and contacts pop up all over the place. And finally, Now Up-to-Date and Contact don't sync the contents of the Palm "memo pad" at all, because there's no equivalent. You have to use Palm Desktop for it. It's really a mess, and you can tell that the sync support has just been added in a haphazard fashion. Claris Organizer, which became Palm Desktop, has such a terrific interface, but it's prone to corruption with Palm syncing and repeating events. I hope that bug is fixed in the OS X version, which I can't switch to because I use so many other conduits that haven't been ported (AvantGo, PasswordWallet, Pocket Quicken, etc.) Remember when Mac software used to be better than the competition? I sometimes wonder why I bother.
