Hi, I was talking about installation issues people encountered with KeySync (sorry for not clarifying that). And you are correct: there should be no issues transfering stuff between BN and iPhone with a pC acting as a middle man. Cheers, Joseph

You're not dealing with interoperability of the two devices. Both devices would just be dealing with Outlook on their own. That's not to say KeySync doesn't have its fair share of bugs, but there shouldn't be any issues resulting from syncing an iOS device and a BrailleNote with the same Outlook database.
