Palm/Mac sync woes

I have little to add to this but I’m sure glad it’s being said somewhere as visible as The Washington Post:

Either Palm should – finally! – update its Mac software so it talks directly to Address Book and iCal, instead of relying on the obsolete Palm Desktop for contacts and calendar management, or Apple should put some more effort into iSync so it doesn’t have this habit of dropping data on the floor at random times.

Or taking 15 minutes to do a simple sync, or duplicating records, or dropping categories, or being a damned CPU hog…

And what about Memo Pad? It would be dandy if iSync could bring Memo Pad content into Stickies or NoteTaker-style text files.

Ah, I forgot about The Missing Sync. Apple should buy it!
