Isn't it amazing that their OS still doesn't have support for more than 1 address in the address field. This is a reason that my dad switched to Windows and an iPaq from his Newton + Powerbook years back. He has contacts with like 10 phone numbers and 3+ addresses. Sadly nothing works quite like the Newton :-( and well, his palmtop needs superceded his attachment to his Mac.When I got my 128K Palm Pilot, I forgave the developer for not being able to market a device that could store and sync two addresses per contact. After all, PROGRAMS for the thing were sometimes as small as 8K.Now, however, the Palm OS handhelds come with 8 MB of RAM as a minimum, various expansion cards, and much faster processors. Still, Palm maintains the fiction that we don't need to remember where our contacts work AND where they live. Most of us have two such addresses, and I'd venture that most of us possess sufficient social skills to make friends with people with whom we work often enough that recording their work and home addresses is a common requirement. Palm refuses to give us this. Today I discovered programs that purport to sync the Pocket PC to the Mac, including programs such as Entourage. They apparently don't have a Jaguar-compatible iteration out yet, but they're testing. Has anyone any experience with PocketMac? <http://www.pocketmac.net/> I've never paid much attention to Pocket PC devices, because I "knew" I couldn�t use them with my Mac. I'm so frustrated by this simple omission from the Palm OS, now at revision 5.x with no hopes of them seeing the light, that I'm eager to look elsewhere. Is PocketMac the answer? Please don't suggest that I stay with Palm and accept the kludge of synchronizing the second address to a "handheld note" field. I've lost many home AND work addresses via that route over the years.
Anyway, PcketMac currently uses Apple Events to Sync with Entourage. This limits the software in a few ways, but we're workign with them to get their product using something better.
