iSync 1.0 and iCal 1.0.1 Released

Posted by pudge on from the yay-for-me dept.

ahknight writes "Apple released the final version of iSync and iCal today. iSync was significantly changed and works a lot better with Palms and gets rid of all those nasty errors with the .Mac servers. Works great!" I never had many problems with iSync, except for initially setting it up. iCal I've had major performance and other problems with, so hopefully this fixes many of them.

    "Doesn't Nokia need to get along with their SyncML support?"

    With the kind of market-share that Nokia has (36% last year, with second place being Motorola with 14.4% ) ,and the fact that a lot of people are jumping on the series60 bandwagon, they don't NEED to do anything. In fact they seem to have a thing for doing things their way and getting away with it.

    In any case i would love to see nokia support in isync (and maybe built-in bluetooth in macs)

    This isn't working but was highlighted on www.apple.com/isync/:

    Access your contact information online
    With iSync your .Mac Address Book online displays the same set of contacts that you keep in the Mac OS X Address book on your machine. This makes it easy to compose and send email from any machine. Plus you have online access to phone numbers and Instant Messaging accounts.

    This is great news.

  3. One desire... by singularity · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The only thing keeping me from going from Palm Desktop 4.0 on Mac OS X to iCal is the messed-up mounth view.

    I tend to keep Palm Desktop open in month view. When I do so, I like being able to see the start times for events (as you can see in the example). iCal, on the other hand, does not list start-times for events while in month view. As a result, I have two choices: I can run in weekly view (Ugh...) or I can double-click events when I want to see when they start.

    Neither is acceptable. I was hoping that v1.0.1 of iCal would bring this feature (some others have been asking for it), but I suppose I will have to wait even longer.
