Hi Folks,
I've been looking around for a sweet way of synching new Newt and desktop
together for a few years now but haven't really found the right tool.
I know there are solutions but they all involve doing exports to files,
monkeying around a bit and it seems, certainly on the Win PC side, that all
of the target software is barely supported, if at all.
I few people have suggested writing Win/Pc apps to help but I've been
thinking round the other way.
How about we come up with a Newt app that emulates Palm's sync protocol for
Palm Desktop? A bit like Sloup I suppose. That way, we'd have access to a
current desktop app.
It appears to be available for download from the Palm site for free and
even if they charged, I suspect that most people with the need to sync
wouldn't mind paying just to get some current software that does the job
without the file munging.
I've had a sniff around and it seems that the protocol is well documented
but I'm not as Newton proggy by any stretch.
Is anyone out there willing to have a go?
Cheers.
Andy
