    > To refresh your memory: Back before we had PDA's, we called such software PIM's.

    Hehe, yes... Personal Information Managers. Though at the early start SideKick said it all. T'was the first widespread TSR app, made by Frank Borland himself from his little cabin up in the Santa Cruz mountains. Phillipe Kahn went to Starfish, last SideKick release was in 1999...

  2. Re:An Integrated Digital Camera?! WTF!! by kel0 · · Score: 1 · on The Nokia 7650 Cell Phone w/ Integrated Camera

    I've been using TrueSync from StarFish for a couple years now to handle synchronization between my Startac/PDA/Exchange and or Outlook contact databases. The outdated version I use even allows for minor phone preferences settings without having to fumble with the cumbersome menus on the phone itself. While it may not be something provided for free from the phone manufactuer, it is a start.

  3. News and other Outlook Woes by fm6 · · Score: 2 · on The Perfect Email Client?
    What is so hard to understand in the following statement: being subscribed to a mailing list and tracking a usenet group should be *exactly the same*. And yes, Virginia, even normal E-mail "folders" *need to support threads*. Sigh.
    I assume you're aware that the Netscape/Mozilla client addresses these issues, and you're just ranting at the poorly designed client you're forced to use.

    Anyway, you're right about all these issues, and it's unfortunately true that most email clients don't even try to address them.

    (Assuming of course, you actually need to use Usenet. I consider it an obsolete system that survives by pure inertia. But that's another discussion.)

    You know, TrueSync is capable of making the Exchange calendar accessible to most clients. Of course, your boss is likely to say, "Why should we invest in this? What's wrong with Outlook?"

  4. TrueSync by interiot · · Score: 2 · on Cell Phone Syncing w/ Your PC or PDA?
    TrueSync software works with many different devices and programs:

    • Outlook (and 5 other desktop organinizers)
    • Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia phones
    • Palm OS PDAs, Wince devices, SyncML-enabled devices, and several others
    • Yahoo's PIM website, Excite@Home's PIM website (however long that's gonna stick around), etc...
  5. Starfish Software free from Yahoo... by Yax-Pac · · Score: 2, Informative · on Cell Phone Syncing w/ Your PC or PDA?
    You can download some quite excellent free (as in beer) software from Yahoo made by Starfish (remember Borland???). It's called TrueSync.

    http://www.starfish.com/private/yahoo/yahoo_ov.htm l

    I use it to synchronize: Outlook (yeah, yeah, yeah, it's for work), Pilot, Yahoo Calendar, Yahoo address book and StarTAC phone. It's Win32 but has lots and lots of available modules.

  6. Download TrueSync... by Scaba · · Score: 1 · on Cell Phone Syncing w/ Your PC or PDA?

    Get the TrueSync Installer here. I'm using it to sync a Handspring, Yahoo!, the Palm Desktop, Lotus Notes and Outlook 2000 all at once, and there are modules for about a dozen or more phones you can install.

  7. Re:Motorola 'Tai Chi' A6188 phone/pda already here by +robi+ · · Score: 1 · on Palm/Motorola to Develop Combo handheld/phone

    I've already got one of these - they're available in Australia. A beautiful interface and intelligent software - clever handwriting recognition etc. The only thing I would like to have now is synchronisation software for Linux. Starfish have down the software but only for windows :-( This is a teriffic product, only slightly bulky. It needs to be wafer thin.
