Finally!
I have been waiting for this for a long time. In fact, I have been looking for this feature ever since i first looked at Linux.
Now, perhaps, I will install Linux on that little 7GB of extra, non-formatted space on my 80GB hard-drive. Mandrake Linux 9.0, baby!

Yes, I do realize that this is pretty simple, but I also know that this project is far enough along and enough people use Pocket PCs now that I think that either this project or a similar one will be included in the next subrelease (or maybe three or four subreleases from now) of, say, Gnome or KDE. I am excited! I hope they will support TCP/IP syncing as I just got my WiFi CF card's MAC address registered at my college.

Wuh oh, hope Microsoft doesn't come along and try to shut you down now, Jason! :)

Sync to a Mac please!!!

Well, if you use OS X, that's a *NIX-based core, so it shouldn't be too hard to port this as a console app.

Once again someone has to step up to the plate and do what MS should have done a long time ago.

And thank god for it. I've been trying to get ActiveStink to work in WINE with no success.

Thanks for the info, Jonathan. I did not get the previous versions because of the bad reviews. Also, PocketMac announced the version for Jaguar was done a week or two but one can not find it on their site so I stopped checking.

In any case, I am still all for a free solution of course. I'd port the linux version to Mac but as one of the poll on the front page says: "I can't code my way out of a paper bag." (despite working as a IT consultant). :)

I was very keen to give pocketmac a go but I don't have a pocket pc anymore. :(

I'm waiting for something really serious, like the 56xx maybe. :)

PocketMac is a cruel joke, $80-ish for beta software that doesn't really work with no demo at all :(

Since SyncCE is supposed to work with BSD as well as Linux, maybe I could hack it to work on my iBook via Fink. Of course, there is still the matter of WHAT I would sync it to...

can someone report back their findings on this app. i will try it over the next few days if i get a chance.

aaaaahhchoooo :x :cry:
