You are right; I need to find a better word than "sync". Newton 1 devices would sync in the sense that if you changed a soup entry in your current backup, that change would be reflected on your Newton next time you backed up (synced?). That’s not the same as the Synchronise function for contacts/calendars in NCU.

I am looking specifically for applications that use the dock protocol; in other words, communicate with the Newton Dock app (or Connection app in the case of Newton OS 1.x). Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe any non-Apple apps (except Paul Guyot’s Escale, and NCX) use the dock protocol.
