RE: So... When will someone fix Calendars/Categories for ical?
Do that and I can see spending the $40 for this software. Otherwise, I just don't understand the value added.
RE: So... When will someone fix Calendars/Categories for ical?
I (and many others, judging from their discussion mailing list) immediately ran into a major bug. It sometimes (frequently) screws up saving the registration number into its pref file; on subsequent launches it immediately (and SILENTLY) quits. I repeatedly deleted the pref file, repairs permissions, reinstalled, etc., etc, through last night and this morning with no effect: it repeatedly did the same thing. When I got home from work, it finally ran OK.
The bummer, though, is that I rely on Group Organizer. (I'd actually switch to NOW if that wouldn't be so expensive, because they're a lot better with maintenance... but that's a different matter.) Unfortunately, while the MS 4.0 compatibility list calls out "Personal Organizer" (and doesn't list "Group Organizer" as incompatible), it doesn't work. It hangs both Missing Sync and the Palm.
Unfortunately, this makes it pretty much useless to me. (I can't even take this as a final excuse to shell out for a NOW migration, because MS 4.0 is only compatible with ONE of their two conduits: the other is listed as incompatible.)
With any luck, these problems will be addressed soon. I can certainly see the potential for this to be enough better than Palm's package to be really worth the money. This is a ".0" release, though, and just barely out into wide distribution;. As much as we might like it to be otherwise, major product releases always hit customer situations different from all in-house and beta testing. It's a basic law of software. The critical test is in how well, and how quickly, they handle it.

Under 'Registration Code', delete the garbled stuff at the end of your real registration code. Save.
All works well from there on out!

RE: So... When will someone fix Calendars/Categories for ical?
However, I'm still disappointed that one of my most critical conduits, Group Organizer, doesn't work. Yes, on the other hand, technically they didn't say that it would. (Though it was loosely implied by listing Personal Organizer and not saying that the Group version wasn't supported.) In any case, whether this is their problem or mine, it renders Missing Sync essentially useless to me. Sigh. It definitely has potential...

I am so proud of Mark/Space right now.
Intel PXA27X, Motorola's ARM Processor, or Texas Instruments OMAP? Pick one Palm Enthusiasts, the choice should be yours. When handheld makers make you choose the ARM Processor, you win.
