The Missing Sync for BlackBerry 1.0.0 b7 (Mac OS X)
That the slightly buggy beta of this product is light years beyond the veteran pocketmac software in both features and reliability speaks volumes. Better features, better interface, real progress indicators (Showing the number of contacts remainging, etc.) Includes options for syncing photos and music, overwriting for next sync only, syncing to mulitple machines, sync profiles and even a reminder to sync. Makers of pocketmac should feel deeply ashamed. [alert admin]

PocketMac for BlackBerry 4.0 (Mac OS X)
For trouble syncing contacts ior calendars: First, set the preference to overwrite the device from your mac and sync. Reset the prefs for two-way sync. Then got to: Home/Library/Application Support/PocketmacSyncManager/Additional Tools/DataPurgeUI Select the data that is not syncing (contacts or calendars) and click purge. This will erase that specific data from the device and leave the rest in tact. Sync again. A good test is to add data to the note field in a specific contact/appointment on the device and different data to the same contact/appt. on the computer. If, after syncing, all of the data appears on both devices, you know you're good. Be warned, this application is still totally unreliable, randomly failing to recognize the device even if it has not been disconnected between syncs. [alert admin]

PocketMac for BlackBerry 4.0 (Mac OS X)
Reliable only when overwriting the device. Don't count on this to syncronize reliably. The last version worked flawlessly despite the clunky process. The new interface is unneccessarily compicated and buggy. 4.0 tries to do too much before mastering the essentials: Syncing the datebook and contacts. No wonder they use to charge for this app and now it's free. You get what you pay for. [alert admin]

America Online (AOL) 10.3.7 Beta 1 (Mac OS X)
Tips for Getting around AOL software 
As I understand it, you can connect to the web via AOL but not check mail. Try one of the following. 1) Using AOL to conect to the web, simply use Safari to access AOL's web-based email browser. Lame, yes, but simple. 2) Using mail.app, create a new account and enter the following settings: Account Type: IMAP email address with @aol.com Incoming Server: imap.aol.com Outgoing: smtp.aol.com Server Port: 587 Authentication: password If AOL will connect you via dialup, you should be able to use mail.app to check your mail. These days, AOL is really good for nothing but a "convenient" dial-up connection anyway. These settings allow you to check AOL mail more frequently and use mail.app's far superior mail filter (which is not saying much for AOL's.) Also, you used to be able to reduce your monthy service to $4.95. (I don't know if AOL still gives you the option.) If you are using a hi-speed connection, the above settings are a great way to check AOL and never have to sign on with their utterly awful software again. Thus you will never use the measly two free hours that come with the $4.95 plan. Finally, if AOL problems persist (and with AOL they always do) and if you have a cell phone, you can forgo the AOL dial-up entirely by using your mobile and a data cable/bluettoh to connect. The above settings will get you to your AOL mail. [alert admin]

Sticky Windows 1.0b1 (Mac OS X)
1) Option to remember where the window was before it is dragged to the edge of the screen. (OR simply a key command/double-click to create a tab WITHOUT dragging.) At present one must drag the window to the edge of the screen and then drag it BACK to it's desired position. (And man, if there's a way to save the SIZE and location of application windows a la finder worksets I'll pay 100 bucks for this app.) 2) Rethink your utterly annoying reminders. Being bothered once every few clicks is never going to get this app a decent try-out. 3) Menu-bar icon. Optional please. 4) Option to keep tabs at a constant size. At present the tab-size seems to be dictated by the name of the window in question. As a result the safari tab changes in size (and overlays the tabs next to it) with each new page. [alert admin]

iChat2Cell 1.01 (Mac OS X)
The start of... well, something
Before iCHat2Cell: Launch ichat. Select new chat with person or simply hit SHIFT+APPLE+N. Enter +1 and the number you wish to send an SMS to. Enter message and send. After iCHat2 Cell: (And after donating a few bucks to unlock the import feature) Launch ichat. Launch iChat2Cell. Scroll through a non-alphabetized and seemingly random list of numbers to get the contact you want. (No way to type the first few letters of a name, etc.) Find the contact you wish to IM (you have to wait a few seconds for the address book to load before you can do this). Enter message and hit send. You decide which is easier. [alert admin]
