How to sync your Google Calendar with your Treo using a Mac
Google calendars are great, but unless I can sync them with my Treo 700p (or 650), they lose a lot of their luster. After messing around for a bit I was finally able to get all of my shared Google calendars to my Treo 700p via hotsyncing through my Mac using Missing Sync and iCal. Any changes I make on the Treo will upload to Google and any changes in Google will download to my Treo. Want to know how? Here are the deets:
The best Treo E-Mail client just got better: Chattermail 2.0+ / EX
One of the best e-mail clients for any mobile device is about to get a lot better. On June 29, 2006 ChatterEmail will be releasing their new Exchange plugin. This plugin will allow ChatterEmail to access Exchange 2000 SP2 and above servers in real time without any middleware or complex IT changes to Exchange itself. Say goodbye to monthly fees on your Blackberry or GoodLink program, ChatterEmail is where it’s at!
I believe that ChatterEmail is the killer app for the Treo 600/650/700p. With ChatterEmail+ / EX I am able to connect to any Exchange 2000/SP2 or IMAP Idle server and get push e-mail directly to my phone. In my testing I have found that in many cases new e-mail will make it to my Treo before it makes it to my Outlook. That’s fast. Servers that don’t support IMAP Idle or IMAP at all for that matter will still work, however, Chatter will need to connect on a scheduled interval and pull the mail down just like any other e-mail client out there. The protocols supported are IMAL Idle, IMAP, POP3 and Exchange.

Running Windows XP on a Macintosh for Business
I took the leap today and migrated all of my business apps to my MacBook Pro. 90% of my work can be done on my Macintosh and now the other 10% can also be done on my Macintosh. What do I mean by that? I mean my Mac is running both Mac OS X and Windows XP at the same time!
How the Internet will keep everyone honest
I was reading though a backlog of Digg and Gizmodo stories when an item I read about in the beginning of the month popped back up: How Not to Steal a Sidekick. At first I thought this was an interesting tale of stolen property, egos and red tape. Upon further reflection I found that this story shows how the Internet will be keeping everyone, connected or not, honest.

Syncing a Treo 700p or 700w to your Mac with the Missing Sync
A couple of people have e-mailed me and asked what I do to sync my Treo 700p/w to my Macintosh. The answer is in the form of Mark/Space’s Missing Sync. Not only will the Missing Sync allow Macintosh users to easily sync their Palm devices, but it’s also the best syncing tool available on any platform.
