Mark/Space has released The Missing Sync for hiptop 2.0 which synchronizes your contacts, calendar events and to-do information between your hiptop or Sidekick device and Mac OS X’s Address Book and iCal applications.

Any changes are then transmitted right over-the-air to your hiptop or Sidekick.

• Mac OS X Server is not supported
• iSync 1.5 or later – free download) (required for 10.3.9)

If this company can make Mac OS stuff work with Palm, Pocket PC & Hiptop Devices, why can’t/won’t Apple?
They put a lot of foundations into Mac OS X. If Apple starts supporting this all natively, we’ll hear the “Apple eats their young” tirade again.
MW “take: as in, that’s just my take on it.
waiting for Blackberry 7290 (Color with Bluetooth) support…
If you need compatibility with Mac OS X and your Palm/Phone/HipThing, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. Check Version Tracker.
The “software”, a set of plugins my friends and I purchased from Mark/Space was extremely buggy and overpriced. In addition, their upgrade policy sucks.
Mark/Space reminds me more of M$ than any other “Mac” developer.
Buyer beware!
