I have been using the Treo 650 since last fall with my iBook G4

conduit on the iBook.
To tell the truth, I'm a little disappointed with the iSync connection;
iCal, for example, lets you create multiple calendars for different
categories of events - i.e. Business, Personal - and the Palm Desktop
conduit doen't separate calendar items by category. Of course,
there's no
iTunes sync either. Apparently, The Missing Sync does both of these
things
and more; I just haven't had a chance to try it out...
Bluetooth sync does work, but it's S-L-O-W. Faster than IR sync, but
still
painful compared to the USB cable.
I (personally) recommend getting one of the USB charge/sync cables;
that
way, you can leave the Treo's charger behind. My iBook leaves power
on to
the USB ports when it's asleep/closed and on wall power, so you can
charge
your phone while you charge your laptop...
Thanks for all the great info... looks like I'll try Missing Sync
too... I moved my huge Palm database (goes back to 1994) into
iCal/address book last fall and had some interesting problems. But the
Palm had already screwed up some of the data on it's own... multiple
duplicate records, repeating entries that ended in 2000 re-opening in
2005... or moving completely, note fields in addresses breaking up and
being attached to other fields... so much fun to sort out.
