Does anyone know if/when iSync will be available? Is it already included in OS X.2 or will it be available later as a download? The article wasn't very clear and I can't find any info on Apple's web site about it.

I read on Apple's website that iSync would be available for free download in September, and would require Jaguar.

I'm not sure why Apple would post it as a free download when it requires Jaguar. If it comes with Jaguar and you need Jaguar to use it, why would it be a free download? I hope it is available for us 10.1.X users.

Okay, we won't get it for 10.1.X or lower. I still don't understand why you would download it from the web site if it comes with Jaguar (and you have to have Jaguar to use it)? The only way a free download would help anybody is if you lost your Jaguar CD. I'm beating this dead horse here. Last post in this subject... : )

ONE MORE TIME
Jaguar = AUGUST
iSync = AFTER AUGUST

In other words... iSync CAN'T POSSIBLY COME WITH JAGUAR if Jaguar is released in AUGUST and iSync will not be ready till SOME TIME AFTER THE AUGUST RELEASE OF JAGUAR.

my guess is to release Jag on Aug 24th it will have to go gold master early Aug, thus if to set an iSync release in "September" gives them almost a month to clean up bugs and give her polish.
