If i want to get a .prc onto my pilot quickly, I don't want to drop it
into the hotsync folder, hit the hotsync button, and wait for it to sync
every database on my Pilot. Especially if I've also got some kind of
conduit that takes a while to sync (avantgo, email, etc.). I also don't
want to disable all my conduits just so I can quickly sync a single
file.
I'm a unix command-line guy, and I really like doing
pilot-xfer -i somefile.prc
I think windows users would also find it convenient if they could
right-click a .prc and do "Send To Palm" and it would immediately
install that file on the Palm, completely bypassing the Hotsync manager.
