Sync Mac to PocketPC -software source

Still not quite ready, as of November 2002, but at last we nearly have a solution to the problem of having a Mac on the desktop, but Windows in the Pocket. And no, VirtualPC isn't the answer!

PocketMac software may not even be released yet, but it has been given a positive review by Pocket World, where it was described in some detail.

Conclusion? "PocketMac deserves huge credit for developing an application which bridges Macs and Pocket PCs. It's easy to use, and acts more or less transparently. Version 1.1 does have some teething troubles such as slow connection speed and unstable performance, and hopefully they will be sorted out in upcoming releases. Our only gripe is the lack of a demo version. $49.95 for a regular version is not exactly a bargain (at least not in the Pocket PC world), and it would be fair to offer users a chance to try the application before they buy it."

At press time, its major drawback, for Mac users, is that it isn't available for "Jaguar" versions of Mac OS X yet. Check out the FAQ for details.
