User comments 13 comment(s) sw (7:44pm est fri aug 31 2001) i have a “mac” friend that sold his ipaq, because he didn't have sync software. There is a rare reverse in the vindigo, seems to only work with the palm.i often wonder why some give up a large part of the market,and remain propritary. – by bobk@geek.com what about (12:12pm est tue sep 04 2001) all the programs i download for my ipaq that are windows executables (at least the install routines). Gonna be interesting. Would be great if there was an “install from the net” and all one had to do was cradle the ipaq and download directly to the handheld. – by tom connelly sync software for ipaq 3870 (6:34pm est thu feb 27 2003) where can i find sync software for ipaq 3870.

– by gus mercado pocketmac pro (7:20am est fri dec 03 2004) don't bother! It does not work` – by jeff frustrating (5:32pm est sun apr 03 2005) i thought upgrading to mac was a great idea, actually it was the smartest thing i've done in my life, but not being able to sync my pocket pc blows, not life ending, but why can't someone (ahem apple!) make an os for my pocket pc? Especially with the mac mini creating such a demand for mac software, what's taking so long? – by ron windows user (2:36am est fri may 27 2005) re: “why doesn't apple make an os for my pocketpc?” well, 'apple user', the os is built into the fixed memory of the pocketpc. You can't just put another os on it.

You really should just buy a windows machine. Cheaper, and many more people developing great free software for both the desktop pc and the pocket pc devices. Apple goes hand in hand with palm devices. Both deliver less functionality for higher prices, and have less of a community developiing free tools. I agree that it would be nice if pocketpcs shipped with support for syncing to mac os straight out of the box, but that would be rather a lot more difficult (having to sync with a whole different range of email/addressbook applications, etc. – by a: windows shift to using your brain (9:44am est wed jul 06 2005) well, “a: windows”, there are many ignorant and false things you just said.

First of all, firmware (“fixed memory”) can be updated, so you can just put another os on — that's how they do software updates. The thing is that the processor has to be in a special mode to allow write operations to the eeprom.

Second, i went about trying to prove cost of ownership for windows vs. Mac laptops last fall and i concluded that mac was cheaper if i wanted a high-end system with a wide-screen lcd. Mac can be more expensive, depending on what software you're purchasing, such as art production software not even available for the pc. Check out versiontracker.com and see for yourself how many free applications are available for os x. It is a hacker's best friend. But if it's still not good enough, you can always install linux on a mac -).

All these devices are just computers. There is no good reason why one computer should not be able to communicate with another. – by universal hacker no developping community???? (10:45pm est thu dec 08 2005) windows user posted: “both deliver less functionality for higher prices, and have less of a community developiing free tools.” 1. Obviously you never used a mac before.

Macs are way more functional (the os that is) through things like: expose, spotlight, the dock, rendezvous, ilife and the entire gui, and that is not even talking about the security issues. Second difference is that as a computer user i just want my computer to do what i want it to without having to bother finding out how he does it. As far as the free software developpers on os x are concerned they have surpassed the wintel free software developpers. Let me elaborate. Mac os x is basically free bsd (darwin) with a mac os x gui. Since the biggest free (open source) software community is on unix/linux apple has opened itself to that community. So there is a way bigger choice of free good and stable software available on the mac than on wintel.

As far as the cost is concerned, it is true that the acquisition cost of an apple computer is higher then a wintel machine, however the cost of ownership in the longrun is way cheaper. I still run photoshop cs 2 on my 6 years old powermac g4 400, and in the past 6 years i have invested 736.25 euros in my mac. If i would have owned a wintel machine i would have had to buy a new machine every 2 years to run the latest creative software. (without talking about the intermediate upgrades during those 2 years) just as a side note, talking about proprietary operating systems, don't forget that the only proprietary part of os x is the gui and apple proprietary technologies. The os itself is under the gnu gpl. So anybody has the right to modify it and redistribute it any way he likes.

These statements are based on facts. – by powermackilltosh mac (2:01pm est thu mar 09 2006) i have a powerbook, i used to hate apple and such, now i'm the opposite, i have seen the light and i'm -never- going back to windows, macs do what you want when you want it, i dont need a huge software library when one app will do the job for each task. I have all the software and games available for my powerbook i could ever want. – by lionel yeah, yeah (6:41am est sat apr 29 2006) some people think macs are more functional. Some think pcs are.

Some of us have figured out how to take advantage of the strengths of both. What a novel idea. So, how do you sync a pocket pc device with a mac? – by dave why doesn't apple make an os for my pocketpc? (7:46am est mon jun 19 2006) “quote: windows user (2:36am est fri may 27 2005) re: “why doesn't apple make an os for my pocketpc?”. Well thats not true. Yes the “windows mobile” os may be installed onto fixed memory, but there is such thing as a firmware upgrade, which updates your pocket pc os version.

For example i have upgraded my “windows mobile 2003” to “windows mobile 5″. All through a firmware upgrade”. Soooo apple is easily able to create an apple compatible os for pocket pc.

The reason apple? Hasent created there own pocket pc os, is because it would drive there ipods useless. The apple man? And the debate continues (2:46pm est wed aug 30 2006) wow, this reads alot like the arguments in the early eighties where the debate raged over commador vs tandy vs kaypro vs blah, blah, blah! The bottom line is that these are all just tools! Apple, pc, mac os, windows, etc are here for just two reasons 1st, to make money for apple, microsoft, intel, amd and an assortment of third parties. Only secondary to this, and i do mean secondary is you/us and our productivity and fun.

Cavechat.org view topic configuration. The good news is that the first is indelibly tied to the second and this is why we are still not victims. Look, if you have the time in your life to engage in this kind of debate, you can probably afford to eventually own both an apple with mac os, and a pc running windows. The prices are stuypidly low compared to what was paid out in the eighties nineties. And oh by the way, you could also partition one of the drives on one of those machines, install linux, (supporting the only really worthwhile endeavor in computing) and get the best all three worlds.

And you can network them all!
