Robert A asked:


I am a recent convert to Mac and am looking at contract renewal time ( Verizon) and want to Sync a Smart Phone with my computer. Seems that only Palm Treo natively syncs with the Mac. Hate having my choices limited. There are several third party software choices out there that can let me Sync with a Windows Mobile device. I really like Outlook better than Entourage…So…. My choices seem to be to buy Parallels and Outlook on my computer and sync it with a windows phone OR…buy a palm and sync it with my Mac and be resigned to using Entourage. Anyone else had this quandry and thought through all of the issues and come up with a coherent answer. Probably need to get Parallels anyway but hate to start up the whole multiple software products to keep the system clean routine. Wondering if Palm/Mac is worth it just for keeping a clean system. May be the only person in America who really doesnt want an I-Phone. Use it for business only and dont care about music. Thanks!
