I have been using a palm with the desktop software for the mac since the beginning. I have had well over a dozen palm handhelds/ some with phones over the years and have used them with well over 25 different computers. I am not going to say I never had a problem but VERY few and far between. A far superior product to the separates of ical and address book. I am sad to see the palm support go. I hope Apple manages to better integrate the ical, address book and memos (maybe the leopard mail will accomplish this) As of right now, I am sticking with the palm desktop over the apple separates. I have no problem with eiother cradle or bluetooth syncing on any of my macs (some on 9.2.2, some on 10.4.8) and the same palm has no problem going back and forth between the two - DAILY!!!!!!!
