NotSync.

Brighthand - What Isn't in Palm OS Cobalt... Yet

Macintosh synchronization is something that the Palm OS used to offer, but won't any more.

Mr. Slotnick ...made it clear that PalmSource isn't developing a Mac version of the Palm Desktop. As the way the PIM apps work has changed significantly, this means Mac users won't be able to HotSync without third-party software.

I just don't get Palm sometimes. I've owned 3 Palm devices, and it always been a pain getting them to work with Macs - having to buy different extra cables, additional software downloads, limited mail syncing. Are they this confident about their market dominance that they can afford to alienate any part of the user base? Or maybe they've decided that since we're all just running iSync anyway, there's no point in continuing to support Palm Desktop for Mac. Now I'm dependent on Apple for syncing? Ye cats.
