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."

    Even more disapointing I bought the previous version in May for $50 and there is no upgrade path so I have to buy the full version again for the extra $70 so I'm effectively paying $120 for it.

  2. Application syncing. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This isn't really that useful. Most pocketpc software is distributed as a .exe file that self-extracts and registers with the application manager, etc through InstallShield.

    All you could do with this would be to sync data to your PPC, not actually install applications, which is quite a limitation if you're thinking of using this as your primary sync tool.

    We have long have an alternative to the palm. It is called the newton. I recently acquired a used on, to replace one I broke a few years ago. I look forward to upgrading to Jaguar and running nSync to synch the address book.

    As it is now, the the NCU works fine through my network(network connected syncing, that is what I miss most) on Mac OX 10.1.5. I use Newton works for writing and exchange via RTF.
