Activesync is better...

I like Activesync MUCH more than I liked the Palm Hotsync. First, it is always ready to go. I can just pick up my PPC and know my data is already there. Second, I could never simply browse my Palm contents like I can on my desktop through Activesync.
The biggest thing I HATE about Hotsync? When you try to cancel it. It always says Canceling... and then it never does! I had to pull the Palm and reset it, then use task manager to kill hotsync. What a pain.
Activesyn really out-shines hotsync when updating items, like a word doc, making saves and then not having to hot sync over and over again.
Have you ever installed a game or two, been excited to try it, and then have to wait 10 minutes for the Hotsync because you forgot to tell it to only sync the game? Yeesh.
I'm quite happy with Activesync. Won't complain if they improve it, but I would not go back to Hotsync.
