I have been using some Palm OS PDAs and mobile phones for quite a long time (since 2000) and was really happy with them until I switched over to a Nokia E71 based on Symbian S60 because that platform offers way more software (PuTTY on a S60 mobile phone!) for my daily needs.
I’m sad though to hear, that–according to a Networkworld article–Palm Inc. announced the end of the Palm OS product line.
If you bought your version of The Missing Sync for Palm OS after May, 1 2007 you might qualify for a free upgrade to the newest version. See MarkSpace’s website for further instructions.
I bought The Missing Sync when I got my Treo 680. Synchronization should (in theory) work fine und Mac OS X (Tiger) with iSync and Palm Desktop. However, I had some strange feelings when the Palm wouldn’t sync anymore unless I removed the iSync preference files.
In addition, iSync seems also only able to sync one address and did randomly “forget” some of my contact’s phone numbers or e-mail addresses. The Missing Sync works much better (although I’m not able to sync via Bluetooth right now, I’m trying to get that fixed after I upgrade to v6.0) and it supports multiple gimmicks like videos and music on your Palm device. Definitely worth the price ($39.95 for the full version, $24.95 for the update).
