Spanning Sync is awesome. But there is one thing which irritates me quite a bit. That is the notifications it leaves on my screen telling me the server is not available or down for maintenance or whatever. I don't have a problem with the server being down as such - so long as my stuff gets synced reasonably promptly, I'm not too bothered.
But the boxes themselves are a pain. You have to dismiss each one. On the Mac, there is already a great third-party tool for doing notifications. Growl <http://growl.info/> would be perfect for displaying this kind of transient status information in an unintrusive manner. Please consider it. It'd make this Spanning Sync user an even happier user. Otherwise, it's a great product. It struck me the other day how important good sync is when I entered a calendar entry on my iPod touch, got home, plugged my iPod into my Mac, then the next day, when I was out and about, I got an SMS alert from Google Calendar notifying me of the event.
