I'm downloading iSync 1.3 as I type with a view to testing it's handling of all-day events to phones such as the T68i and T610. These are the bluetooth handsets that Apple has always used as the flagships to show off iSync. I'm tipping that the following claims made by Apple are still untrue:


    "you can keep your calendar and contact information synchronized up to the minute"

    "Have your contact and calendar information synced to your mobile phone"

    "Make sure you never miss another appointment or event"


    Sony Ericsson are still at it too, publishing statements such as:
      "You can have your contact information and your calendar with you wherever you go, and you'll know the information is accurate and up to date."


I was right!:( Those claims should read...


    "you can keep some of your calendar and contact information synchronized up to the minute, but not all of it"

    "Have your contact and calendar information partially synced to your mobile phone"

    "Make sure you never miss another appointment or event, unless it's an all-day event, e.g. your mother's birthday, a national holiday or your wedding anniversary"


      "You can have your contact information and half of your calendar with you wherever you go, and you'll know the information is incomplete yet otherwise accurate and up to date."


Thanks again Apple, for yet another full tasting promotion of a half baked solution. How free is freeware when one's decision to buy a very expensive Apple was based on promises like this?


In all fairness, I should admit that Apple could at best only improve the situation by implementing a workaround in iSync that mapped iCal all-day events to & from some sort of timed event in the phone. A real solution can only occur when Sony Ericsson take responsibility for their rhetoric and release firmware upgrades that add true all-day event capability to the handsets.


Let Apple know what YOU think at http://www.apple.com/feedback/isync.html or select Provide iSync Feedback from the iSync menu in iSync.
