Default CalSync: Synchronize Your Pocket PC Calendar with Yahoo

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_...associateid=204

Now this is potentially a tremendously useful piece of software if you don't have access to the Microsoft Outlook/Exchange/Mobile Information Server combo, or if you need an alternative to Outlook.

"CalSync helps you to synchronize the Yahoo Calendar and the Pocket PC Calendar. It preserves the linkage between appointments and the exceptions for easy manipulation in both side. It saves all the important information (login, password) in the Pocket PC so that you can use any computer connected to synchronize the appointments."

Check the link above to download a trial or to purchase the software. (affiliate link)

How is this any different/better than the free Intellisync Yahoo offers on their own site?

Oh, just noticed that Y!'s version doesn't seem to support PocketPC, only Palm. Woops... ops:

Still, I'd be interested in hearing anyone's personal experience with this.

Default difference

Dear akolson,
CalSync create the appointments from Yahoo to PocketPC with better linking. That means The exception of the appointment in Yahoo will become an exception of the appointment in PocketPC. The freeware from Yahoo create 2 different "not-related" appointment in PocketPC.

Second thing is the login / password is stored in the PocketPC side (yahoo intellisync store in PC side). This allow the user to use any computers which installed the CalSync PC part (which is free) to sync the calendar.
