Acer Linux laptop looks swampy
How can Acer ship a great-looking Linux-based notebook and load their own proprietary calendar on it? I got a look at this last week at LinuxWorld, and I don't get it. Not even iCal support! Why not use Sunbird? Does Mozilla want too much money for the binary version? I understand that customers can load their own applications, but calendars don't get widely deployed or standardized in consumer products that way. Acer gets -1 SwampDrain point.

Scott--couldn't find an e-mail address for you... have you seen www.nuevasync.com? I found them last night when I was looking for a Windows Mobile + Gmail contacts/Google calendar sync solution...
