Mobiles and macs

[IvorW]

My sister is a mac user (a relatively recent convert), running her own
business. She is reviewing her current mobile phone contract and model.

Ideally she wants a phone that can sync her diary and contacts from the
mac, but all the models she has found seem to be geared towards Windoze
lookout. She wants to be mobile with full email and calendar facilities.

Can anybody recommend a solution? Even the helpful guy in the Apple shop
was struggling with this one.


Cheers,

Ivor.

The rate is negotiable.  Upwards.  ;-)

No, he's stated he is capable of drawing the threads of your lies to a
conclusion, but nothing more.
