Re: [PLUG] Zaurus Update


That sounds great, Chris. Thanks for the update!! I
know I touched on this in the meeting in
Cons(hoho)cken but I was wondering if anyone knew
anyway to make the Zaurus or Qtopia desktop sync with
outlook? Does anyone know of any projects that are
working on this? In my estimation that kind of
functionality would be huge for companies looking for
an alternative to pocketpc devices. Just curious. 
Cheers, everyone :-)
