Title: Bought a Pocket PC - MACS FREAKING SUCK!!!
Post by: videoholic on March 17, 2004, 12:56:52 PM

Ok you loser mac people.  How the heck can I sync this pocket pc to my OS 10.2????

I am using entourage for my calendar and contacts.  I\'d like to sync them with my unit..  uh, I said unit...

:gman:

Right now it looks like I have to invite myself (On my PC email) for any calendar event I want entered.  Then sync it at home with my PC.


PS: I know this is in the wrong forum.  I\'ll move it soon.  As soon as the defenders of the evil mac empire give me wonderful news.

Why did you choose a pocket pc?  That may be part of the problem, since you bought into the evil empire.  I don\'t know for sure, but maybe something running palm os might have been more compatible.

Well I didn\'t buy it to meld into the mac world.  It\'s mine.  I just would like to import my calendar from my POS work computer.

And from what I here, OS10.2 doesn\'t work with Palm either.  Apparently the rumour is that apple is going to hav etheir own PDA or something.

I see no purpose for the PDA market. Most cell phones will manage your contact lists and so on.

would\'ve invested in an Ericsson P900 or something, pda\'s are a dying market.

Exactly. If anything they are a niche market, due to the fact that cellphones quickly adapated and took over the jobs of PDA\'s.

I would suggest buying a new mac. That seems to be the answer when it cometo mac\'s.

I still say you should ditch the pocket pc and go with a phone/pda combo like the SonyEricsson P900

Yeah, I found pocketmac.  Not sure if I need it now though.  I did a lot of the transfer through my PC.

I don\'t want to go with the phone PDA because I don\'t want a big ass pda phone up to my ear.  I don\'t want to take it with me everywhere I go like the phone.  etc. etc.

The thing is absolutely fantastic for me.  I have a horrible memory and I remember things in the middle of the night and in my car.  THe worst times because you just forget them when you get where you are going.  Now I can just right it down on this and keep it.  

I have pieces of paper everywhere at home and in my office with notes scribbled.  I end up losing them all the time.  It sucks.

Plus I can get a new phone every year for virtually nothing.  can\'t do that with a high end PDA phone.

I\'m getting around the mac crap.  Piece of shit mac.
