Re: [PLUG] Zaurus Update


RuppLynx 6.1.1 - including Zaurus sync with Outlook - looks like ~$69.
Some reviews suggest it's a bit buggy, doesn't support non-default field
mappings, and may have some difficulties with recurring appointments.

This page seems to suggest that "Intellisync for SL" will allow Outlook
sync, and also implies that this is included with the SL-5500.  (Perhaps
it's not included with the SL-5500D?)  Check your docs.

Other docs suggest that "one-touch" Outlook synchronization is a feature
out of the box.  I don't have a Zaurus, nor do I use Outlook, so YMMV.

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 :-)
