TICKET ARCHIVE -> Using a Pocket Pc With Mac Os X

I have an Ipaq 2210 pocket pc and need a way to sync my info with my mac. I also need to install and remove programs from the handheld. I have also considered using virtual PC, but would rather use the native OS X platform for everything. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,
Byron

Here is a great program called PocketMac it will do everything you need it do do and its much cheaper than
Virtual PC.

Excellent suggestion. This is what I have been looking for. Much cheaper than another program that I was considering ($50). I will be downloading it this week and will update the post with a brief review.
Thanks Again,
Byron

Well, after 1 week of trying to purchase Pocket Mac with an accademic discount, I finally was able to download the program. Everything seemed to be going well. It sync'd wonderfully without any errors. And then I realized no information was transfered. I went to the support pages without help. Bottom line, it has now been almost 4 weeks and I still have no help. I will be requesting a refund in 2 days and would NOT recommend this software. I will update the post if I find anything that does work. OH YEAH, the item on the site that states the program lets you install software via mac--don't listen to it. It never works. The companies who make pocket pc software do not supply .cab files (5 out of 5 did not even have access to .cab files)
