Installing programs

Prometheus83 · 05-26-05, 05:10 PM

Just ordered myself a X50v, and I currently only use Macs(10.3.9), so I'm in need of a program to sync with my axim.
I've been looking around and it seems Pocketmac and Missingsync are the big players. Now without starting a flame war, which is the current best for installing apps to my axim? I'm not bothered about any other function, just installing apps.

Cheers

Installing programs on the axim has been the biggest pain in the butt for me. I really wanted to do it all from the mac but PM's app installing is useless for anything but .cabs. I'm hoping Missing Sync will do a better job in Tiger for this.

Ah I see. I've gone with using my brothers PC for the moment, until I decide which one to get.

I know this is not the perfect answer but until you decide which app you could use CabInstall direct on the Ax and install the apps cab files where you want them - most apps come as .cab just copy them to the Ax activate CabInstall and you're off and running. I have a PC but still use this as it gives me the option to specify where exactly I want the App installed AS doesn't offer this level of control.

Hope this helps
