Part of this question will apply to everyone, and the other part (being Mac-related) won't.
Just started using a 680 and I've noticed that the USB connection behaves differently to all my previous Palms, including the 650. As soon as you plug in the USB cable, a USB connection is established (on both Macs and Windows). Previously, this only happened when you hotsync. Now, on the 680, when you hotsync the already-existing USB connection is broken and a new one established immediately. The same thing happens at the end of the hotsync - the USB connection is broken and re-established. Anyone else noticed this change? I think that at least the 700p behaves this way too. The reason I started looking into this is that I get an intermittent kernel panic in Macos Tiger either at the very start or end of a hotsync. The panic log suggests a problem in some Apple USB modules. It's struck me that it might be brought on by this quick disconnect/reconnect. Anyone else getting similar problems? I've found at least 2 others on forums that seem to have it - trying to get some consensus so I know where to go next! Thanks.
