So I've been using MLO for a week now and there's a lot to like. However, there is one thing that is becoming a deal breaker for staying with this app. That is OTA syncing.
Windows mobile is dead. This we know. Windows Phone 7 will be replacing it. One of the trends of iPhone/Android/Windows Phone 7 is the removal of desktop syncing. Good or bad this is the case. Personally, I think desktop activesync sucks. I used it once, it didn't work. I google the error code and found tens of thousands of links of problems. That was enough for me, I never tried it again. I sync my PIM stuff with exchange, its awesome, and there is no reason to use desktop activesync. Enter MLO, which is still using the antiquated desktop syncing. Ok that out of the way, has anyone found a work around for this oversight? I tried an app called Trenotes (http://www.fannsoftware.com/ TreNotes.html). Its arguably not as good as MLO, but it does basically the same thing. Personaly, I think MLO is much better. However, I am able to use this to do OTA with a work around. The WM software of Trenotes opens the trenotes file natively. So I can just use shared folders to open and copy the file down or up to/from my device. If I work on it a bit, I can use webdav to do this much better. Outside the LAN I can VPN in to do this. Anyway, MLO does not have this option as the WM software doesn't open the mlo file at all, but uses a different file format. All the WM apps that I have so far tried, and use desktop syncing, use the same file format on the mobile and on the desktop. MLO is the only exception I have found so far. :( So that work around is out. One thing I looked into is trying to figure out how to use MLO with http://www.rememberthemilk.com/, which has a WM OTA sync option if you pay a nominal amount. However, I am not finding a way to do this. Another thing is using google tasks, but this doesn't sync with WM so is a dead end. So does anyone have any work around for WM OTA with MLO? As an aside, why the heck is MLO mobile and MLO desktop using different file formats? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
