Yes, I haven't thought completely about it. You're plain right. Once you
have the data out of the Newton, what do you do with it? ;-)
AFAIK, all file formats for major applications are proprietary, so you
need to reverse-engineer the file formats in order to be able to read
them and then modify them properly with the data coming from the Newton.
Am I still right?
Or, you provide a single application, like Palm, and all synchronizing
is under your control, but people can't use something else, or am I
wrong here?

Never looked at it, but I think I'll try to have a quick look this
weekend.
