Is PalmSource trying to compete with Microsoft? This is a necessary feature.
Maybe it's necessary for you, but bot for everyone else. The third party solution is fine for me b/c I don't need that feature.
Maybe you could put your app on the emulator and just use it from the desktop. Or you could consider writing a conduit that uses the PCs internet connection to sync necessary data. I remember there also
used to be ethernet cradles. I don't know if they still have them.

Pocket PC applications can use the internet connection of the PC they are connected to through ActiveSync. Is this possible on the Palm? Can aOS app access the internet through a USB cable connected to a PC with an internet connection?
Not with the software bundled with the device, but they can using third-party software. Many people have had success using Softick PPP (http://www.softick.com/ppp/) with their Palm OS device.
