On Microsoft's Mac website it states that they have integration with Palm PDA's. I was wondering if that will include support for the Handspring Visor, because I'd like to get one and be able to sync it with my [future] Mac, due to Handspring being indirectly unsupportive of the Mac.

How is Handspring "indirectly unsupportive" of Mac?

My apologies for that comment. I was at their website and kept seeing asterisks saying stuff like "third party software required for Macintosh systems" or something of that sort. I then saw somewhere how they offer more out-of-the-box support for the Macintosh than Palm does. Sorry.

But, I'd still like to know about MS Office 2001's Handspring support, if anyone knows.

from what I hear, expect Office 2001 to sync just as well with Visor as with any PalmOS machine.

However, it will not sync email still, just the other stuff.

Even with Outlook Express, the address book syncing isn't too cool. OE imports fine from the Handspring, but never writes the contacts it excclusively has back to my Visor. Hmmm?

Are there ANY solutions for syncing email to a Visor/Palm device that DOES NOT involve a modem?
