I am at about the same point, and have been watching this list for month
or two watching for news on synching. So, my experience matches yours
with nSync.
As a general comment, to me this is really the one thing preventing me
from really using my Newton MP2000+, reliable synchronization with my
Powerbook is a must have.
Unfortunately I am not a programmer, so cannot take matters into my own
hands, and contribute more. I certainly want to applaud the efforts of
Nowhere Man, and others who are working on this.
