Well, you're true.. my was just an idea that can be used if we have no
alternatives...

Palm doesn't support us..and i fear the HotSync protocol in OS5 will
be difficult to reverse engineer... i don't know if we'll have any other
choice.. btw, let's focus our efforts to the current situation and continue
to develop ColdSync.

When OS5 will come out we'll see what path we should take.
