Hey. Is the new HP iPaq (4 series) compatible in anyway with an iBook?

What would you reccommend as a good, wireless, fairly good speed, PPC? From what I've researched the new iPaq is supposed to be great, but I hear others are good. So give me the run down.

There's no native support either from Apple or MS. There is however a couple of third party products. MissingSync
and PocketMac
Both seem to do a decent job, but nothing compared to the intergration that palm has. I have a iPaq 1910 and used both and both so far have issues such as syncing reoccuring appointments or entourage support, or messing up my address book. Missing sync did the first two and pocketmac did the other. One of them messed up my ipaq so much that I needed to hard reset it. Pocketmac is outragiously expensive, atleast for what you get.

I'm going to dump the ipaq and get a palm, once I get some moolaa that is. Less headaches and easier to use then the PPC

Good Luck

Maflynn, did you use PocketMac 3.0? I've heard that it's a huge improvement over previous
versions.

I'm curious because I'm about the buy it as I recently switched to Mac, along with my PocketPC device. Thanks!
