Mobility Site - View Single Post - Is anyone else disappointed with ActiveSync?

Overall, I find Activesync pretty good - never had a hang-up or crash and only a couple of occasions when it's not been able to sync something, and then a quick soft-reset of the Axim seemed to cure that.

Only real problem I have with it is it's inability to open two AS connections at once...I'd like to have my Axim and my smartphone plugged in at the same time and have them both sync'd with each other and the desktop.

I think that there could be a *HUGE* market for a "multisync" suite of applications. A version would be available for the desktop, Windows Mobile, smartphones, PalmOS devices and even Symbian and it would provide a way for all of these devices to talk to each other and stay in sync no matter how many of them were connected and no matter how they were connected. To be able to have the Axim on the cradle attached to my PC and sync'd, while at the same time it's syncing to my wifes PC via the network, her Palm via bluetooth and my smartphone via bluetooth....any change on any of them is automagically sync'd with all the others instantly.

That'd be perfect and needn't be a Microsoft package - I'd pay a tenner per device for it and I have five devices it could be used on!
