How can I Synchronize with an Ipaq? (I tried PocketMac ):-(

Richard Garneau

Prior to trying my buying my first Mac, I asked if I would be able to
sync with my Ipac PocketPC PDA and I was told, "No Problem". I then
had to fight to get the name Missing Sync as a product that could work
with Office 2004 on Mac. Then I come to find out that it only has the
ability to work with Apple products (Mail and iCal) which clearly did
not work for me as an Entourage user. I then called the Apple store
and was told about another product called PocketMac. I bought it on
2/13/05 and as of today (5/16/05), it still isn't working. Among my
many many problems was the deleting of my address database in Entourage
(which included over 800 contacts, many of which were those companies I
was speaking with as I was looking for a new job). Support was
terrible and today, we decided to give up and after many months of
absolute terror, we are giving up and they will be crediting my Visa
card as a result.

Does anyone have any idea if there is a solution out there (by
Microsoft for example) that will sync my Ipaq PDA with Entourage 2004?
I'm really hoping to do this instead of having to buy a Palm (which I
don't like).


Thanks,

Richard

Just FYI, I am using PocketMac with Entourage v.X and my Samsung i700
PocketPC running Windows Mobile 2002. Mine works perfectly to sync via USB -
I can move files back and forth, sync calendar, addressbook, etc. It works
very well for me.
