I would like to defend Coldsync! It would be better compared to the old 
Palmsync Server than a Palm desktop product. If the Palm platform had 
been better developed with VPN and a better mail tool people would not 
now be looking at PocketPC's and MMIS / Exchange. PSION was also a PDA 
that never made the leap from a personal product to a workgroup product. 
Coldsync gives us one of the fundamental keystones to the future 
development of an Open Source alternative to MS Exchange.

I currently have staff using 4 Palms, sharing data on a daily basis. I 
have three coldsync daemons running (2 x cradles and 1 x netsync) on the 
box itself, and when in the office you simply pug the PDA into the 
cradle and press the button, and when at home we normally use HotSync / 
NetSync via our VPN's

There is nothing out there that does for the Palm what Coldsync does, 
not even if you pay a lot of money.

Marco
