NaveWeiss's Journal: RANT: Synching over the internet, or why hairy Palms suck

I hate Palm.
I want to do a very simple task: Synchronize the palm with my computer over the internet using a windows program. Macs can do that so why can't windows?

Palm only goes halfway. You can synchronize it over the local network, but you need another computer with a cradle for that. You can also synchronize it over a phone line, but my modem can do only TCP/IP and not real phone-line communication (you know that that phone lines are passe, anyway)

So why can't they let you synchronize over the network? There isn't even a commercial program to do that. With PocketPC you can synchronize over the net with no extra software (so I understood). So why can't Palms do that?

That's only one reason to hate them. I also hate how their accessories are incompatible across different palm models, and how most of their models can't browse the web* decently due to software shortage.

Palm could be a good thing if it had enough support from the company, but without it, they will die, and I hope that happens soon.
