Thanks for the reply Evan, but as normal on this project Linux gets treated like the poor relation, always having to wait while the windows users get the code. How any of this gels with Google's intention to deliver a Linux based OS is beyond me, surely the development should completely be the

I don't understand why you are so seemingly miffed, it's technically infeasible to add sync support to any non-Windows platform right now because much of the code in locked in a proprietary google sync .dll that they are currently trying to integrate directly into the Chromium code base. It's not
