ActiveSync and Macintosh

[HBT]

Does ActiveSync work on Mac Operating Systems?
Do you require a special edition of ActiveSync for the purpose, or do you simply load it up, or, do you need a patch of some type?

[Mark Kenepp]

ActiveSync will work in a Windows emulator running on OSX but ActiveSync will not work natively on OSX (or any other Mac OS for that matter).

There was a post here comparing two different PocketPC Mac OS solutions but I didn't find it in my search. Maybe it was on another site?

Anyway, the two solutions it discussed were PocketMac Pro (http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmpro3/index.html) and The Missing Sync (http://www.markspace.com/pocketpc.html).

Here are a few other threads regarding PocketPC and Mac connectivity:

This article does a head-to-head comparison of Missing Sync and PocketMac.
