PocketMac Pro 2 Released

Posted by pudge on from the in-case-you-really-did-want-a-microsoft-os-all-along dept.

gl1ched writes "PocketMac 2.0 is finally here with support for Jaguar (the previous version only supported up to Mac OS X 10.1.5). For those who have not seen it yet, PocketMac gives users the ability to sync PocketPCs with their Mac OS X computers, finally giving Mac users an alternative to a Palm Pilot."

    Currently there is no IP-over-USB driver in existance for OS X, which prevents the use of Sharp's Zaurus PDAs. If that hurdle could be overcome, data exchange would probably be pretty easy. I'm really not sure about other Linux PDAs like the Yopy or the AgendaVR.

    Current status - it seems he's got some example USB driver source, but it doesn't work yet.
    Of course, Sharp has claimed on a number of occasions to be working on OS X support along with Apple, but so far nothing appears to have come out of it.
