Surely we must do something similar to this for different shaped balls that fall in different ways. An (American) football travels in a different way to a (real ie: soccer) football because of their shape.

Sounds like a load of balls to me.

Put your SIM card in your floppy disk drive

On: Cell Phone Syncing w/ Your PC or PDA?

I've used Phonefile and it works really well. You take the SIM card out of your phone, put it in a floppy disk type thing and bung it into your disk drive.

Works a treat on Windoze. Not sure about Linux support though.

Oh, and it's not free but it means you won't have to worry if you change your phone / PDA / underpants
