Anyone know of a good (preferably freeware or shareware) for syncing a compaq ipaq pocket pc to my tibook? I saw one for 69 dollars pocketmac pro, but was wondering if there are any other alternatives? thanks

But then of course, you need to get the stuff from your Virtual PC apps to and from your Mac, which makes it a bit clunky.
PocketMac looks very good - the only thing it doesn't do is Mail. If you have a PocketPC (and it isn't a work one with a serial interface, like mine) I'd say it has to be worth the cash.
If you do buy it, remember to come back and tell us what you thought....

Off the topic but could you please not say something like "Winblows", etc in the topic? I think it's rather immature.
Thank you

I've tried pocketmac and, frankly, it sucks. I'll just leave it at that. (and, yes, it was the full version and not the demo that killed all my contacts and appointments.)

I can concur...the current Pocket Mac Pro 2.0 is pretty much an alpha-quality release. Very buggy, causes kernal panics, duplicated/deleted records, etc. Until some major proven updates have been released, avoid it like the plague (wish I weren't out $70 on it too!).
However, there seems to be an alternative in the works. MarkSpace (makers of the Missing Sync for Sony Clie's) is apparently coming out with a Pocket PC version of their software:
http://www.markspace.com/pocketpcpreview.html
Hopefully it'll be better than PocketMac's software.
Let's cross our fingers!
