It's not quite that simple. ActiveSync as it stands today is an evolution for many years, and it's showing its age. A redesign is certainly needed, and hopefully Microsoft will do it.

just to note: im quite envious at my friend's palm which could handle word and excel documents far far better than pocket word and pocket excel (what was that software's name??)

As we've discussed on this site many times, it's not because of Palm's built-in ability, but rather the fact they bundle Documents-to-Go. I'd love to see something like
TextMaker bundled by OEMs -- it blows everything else out of the water. But if it's any consolation, we've repeatedly told Microsoft that Pocket Word and Excel need improvement.
