Not that I even own a PocketPC, it's great because we'll have more of a choice now. My clie syncs well (since sony doesn't make mac drivers), they're making one for Palm OS5 units, and now PocketPC. I have PDF files so if someone wants to post it, PM me and I'll email it to them.

Aparently, it does eveything that the other missingsyncs do. Sync with iTunes, iPhoto and with desktop apps. It'll probably just put your word and excel files in a special folder in that regard. We'll see. I think it's still in alpha. But it's coming.

I wish they'd make the OS X missing sync work with my CLIE PEG S300 running Palm OS 3.5.2.

As someone who tested the original missing sync prior to it's release I feel a little let down

I see that they've updated Missing Sync software. Check their site... I also got this quick note on the update:
There is also news for Sony CLIE - Missing Sync 3.0.4 has just been released
with full support for OS X, 10.2 (Jaguar) and the NX series.

Version 3.0.4 - 12/16/02
* Updated: French and German localized installers
* Updated: Sony CLIE NX support
* Fixed: Issue with installing on systems with > 1 GB of RAM
