Clie & Macs
Does anyone use a Clie with a Mac with the software that syncs them together? Problems? Do you like it? Pros? Cons? Bueller?
Why do I ask? Cause I am thinking of PURCHASING one...(there ya go Fran!) <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

I have a NX70v and am thinking of switching it over from my pc to my mac. If i'm not mistaken all of the sony included software does not work on mac. Most people use missing sync to get alot of features back, mounting mem stick, photos with iphoto, music with itunes.

Actually, wtf are you talking about?
Yes, it is true, the bundled software does not work but so what? Don't buy the missing sinc, it has no market and is a waste of money.
Just download the free palm desktop software from palm. It always supported the Clie. i have a clie peg-s320 and it works flawlessly, actually better than on a pc as i can use it with isync and the included addressbook and ical.
The Sony clie is great.
Fsck all of you who have said bad things about Sony. I admire that company. And for those of you who diss it because its not American... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />
Get a life....
So basically, the Clie is the best pda out there.
It is cheaper than the palm counterparts.
The palm zire sucks and although the tungsten is really cool, it is overpriced.
Go For Sony!!!
I hope this helps.
I use the thing for carrying around 128MB of my photography, constantly ready to show anyone who wants to see it. And it looks great.
You need to have 'The Missing Sync' to synchronize it with your mac. iSync says it is supported, but if you read the fine print, it says only when you use 'The Missing Sync'.
I highly recommend the Clié. Kicks the snot out of any Newton ;-)

When your little PDA hits that many years of service, is still working fine, and still has a community that actively supports it with new applications and technologies, let me know. Maybe I'll care then because I really don't care now.

well since your s320 can't play mp3's or display color photos, no I imagine you wouldnt need missing sync, although m3d jack says otherwise as far as isync. I think it has a market, its called people with clies that use macs.

tsk, some people...
i dunno what you are talking about....my clie nx70v will definately will not sync with palm desktop 4 alone.
Missing-Sync is a MUST. I find problems using iSync in conjuction with missing-sync tho, and have since killed-off iSync. The problem is that after a while, the Date-book nolonger shows up in the Conduit-settings, therefore doesnt get updated. Sure missing-sync aint perfect (my memory stick doesnt mount and iTunes wont recognize it) But who needs mp3s on a clie anyways? I got my 10gig iPod still rocking away!
I prefer palm Desktop anyways. I hated having to open different software (i Calendar to change Schedule, Address book to add contacts, etc.) when palm desktop lets me do all that under one roof.
And Fran...my clie (480x320 hiRez screen) IS SPECTACULAR.
(i was holding out as long as i could for Newton2, but could wait nolonger)
