In terms of usability, I think there could be a better solution than what is currently available. As you said, you need to start it from the command line. However, you should not (unless something has changed since I last used it a while back) need to only start it whenever you plug in your device. It should support autosyncing. For example, just leave it running in the background and then the phone should automatically request a synchronization after it is plugged in. -- Richard Alimi Department of Computer Science Yale University ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
