"Unfortunately, Laplink is not currently looking to build a version of PDAsync that works between Windows Mobile 5.x and Vista's Calendar. However, I will forward this enquiry to the developers for consideration. Thank you for writing in. If there's anything else I can help with, please let me know."I notice some Windows Mobile 6 devices are already shipping. Does anyone reading this have one? Which calendars does it work with on the PC side?
If we're ever going to share calendars, we have to insist on interoperability between them all.
Let's drain the swamp!

Windows Mobile 6: How does it stack up?
In my never-ending quest to sync my Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC calendar to anything other than Outlook, I came across LapLink Software's PDASync, which works with a variety of PC-based calendars, including Notes, Groupwise, Lotus Organizer, and ACT! 2000. For me, none of those are viable alternatives to Outlook. But what about Vista Calendar, I wondered? Would PDASync support Vista Calendar? I dropped a note to LapLink Software and received this reply from Aarti Vaid:
NONE. It's been very frustrating. I have tried to use GoogleCalendar and then syncing it with GMobileSync. It's supposed to work, but I haven't gotten mine to do so. Perhaps you may have better luck. . . or expertise.
ReplyDeleteWindows Mobile 6 is designed only to work with Outlook. I don't have Outlook so I use Google Calendar and sync it with my MOTO Q9m using OggSync(http://www.download.com/3001-2156_4-10693446.html?spi=7a7104e83513212a9f9251021a5ec853?idl=n.)
