Palm Kissing Mac Users Arse
Jul 07, 2004 05:40 PM Filed in: PDA
Palm now has a Mac specific site on using your Palm, much like Microsoft does. Interesting that this has come out since they announced that they were no longer going to develop a Mac Hotsync application.
I have good and bad feelings about the Palm's lack of development on the Mac. Really, the quality of the software on the Mac and PC aren't that good. Continuing to rely on them will probably continue to have craptacular software. On the other hand they will likely have the hotsync software for free for PC users where Mac users will have to pay extra (unless they decide to bundle the software which seem unlikely - I hope I'm wrong). I've bought the Missing Sync for Sony and Palm and have been quite happy with it. Missing Sync 4.0 looks to be just as good.
