So i just got another ipaq and i plan to use two of them, one for work and one for all the rest of the time.

i would like to sync them both, doesnt look like activesync is that bright and smart enough to do this w/o shutting one down, etc etc.

anyone else try to do this?

just curious.

That's correct -- ActiveSync can only sync one PDA at a time on a computer.

Other than the problem of synching both iPAQs at the same time have you encountered any other problems?

Just as a note, you can charge one and have the other syncing. I typically have two on their cradles. I just turn one on, let it sync, turn it off and turn the other on to let it sync. It is not to much of a hassle.

There are a couple of things that aren't supposed to be sync'd with more than one machine, like Inbox and Money. You acheive that by not turning those on in more than one profile. You can sync different things on each device, if you choose.
