Yeah, you can do that if you want. All I'm concerned about is my address book, but if you want to sync your desktop apps with the A1200 use any of the following: - Opensync command line tools - Multisync0.90 (NOT vanilla multisync) - Kitchensync (a newish version -- old ones don't support opensync plugins) In any case you'll have to install Opensync and the plugins, since both the other apps too use those. Once you have those, make a group with the appropriate application plugin and sync away to glory. > Anyone who has done this yet? Or should I be looking at standalone > PDAs for this?
