MacMall says the clie is PC only. The other thread here says that iSync works w/the Clie, but what else does?

How can I upload images? What about everything else?

I've never owned (or wanted) a PDA, but it is perfect for my GF. I'm not sure what specifically to ask but basically...does it work w/a Mac?

-edit-
Here's a question:

Sony's site list the apps that come w/the Clie- Memory Stick Export v. 1.2 (for PC), Palm Desktop v. 4.0.1 (for PC), and PictureGear™ 4.6 Lite (for PC). Are there Mac equivalents? Can I buy Palm Desktop for Mac (do I need to since iCal is out)? How do I export data off a memory stick?

Lots of questions, I know. But I know nothing about this stuff.

I'm still playing around with the T615 that I bought last night but I don't think that there will be any problems with what you're wondering about.

Palm Desktop is free and OS X native. You have to use Hot Sync Manager that comes with it along with iSync but you can doa custom install of just this suite of apps if you want to use iCal and AddressBook instead.

I have a memory stick (which works great through my camcorder) but I haven't had time to play around with it yet. I'll post back here to let you know how things go but I'm not expecting any problems. All the PC-based Palm downloads that I've tried have installed fine on the Clie so far using iSync/HSM. The pic and movie files are just different formats but I know I've seem converter plug-ins for GraphicConverter for e.g. for images so I don't think that this will be a problem either. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks.
