Synching under Leopard
IMO the development of synching mobile devices is dissapointing:
It start off very promissing with iSync and the announced SE/Apple cooperation. This commitment never really came to frutatuion as neither SE nor any other mobile phone maker ever actively developed any iSync-Plug-Ins.
And even Apple - for no appearant reason - seems to be dragging its feet when it comes to supporting new phones/devices.
It seems that the synching framework under Tiger is hard to develop for as stated by Novomedia and other phone-plug-in developers. Will this change under Leopard? Will the framework be more open and accessible?

Remember, the "Top Secret" features can point to hardware which hasn't been released yet.
That's my hope, anyhow, because I agree iSync now sucks, and it didn't use to. And the screwy interface changes in Tiger just made things worse.
It's so bad, it's suspiciously bad. That's my hope, anyhow.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
I wish there was a way of syncing your desktop and your laptop over your home network instead of having to BUY .Mac for internet services you don't need on a home network.
Well, there is if you make a Mac OS X server part of your network...

Looks good, indeed. What OS X version is this screenshot taken from?
I read that the iSync platform (at least under Tiger) is not as open as Apple propagates. Plug-Ins can be created only for phones that work similar to the ones already supported (a phone's direct successor, for example). Did this change?

It's post OS X 10.4.7.

As in 10.5? Or rather 10.4.8 or .9?
Where can the folder information be switched on?
