I saw on another post here that it was possible to get 3rd party software to work with the sony Clie... Is it possible to get third part software to be able to get my pocket pc to work on my mac

Good question. Version Tracker lists this:

But it sounds pretty lousy.

Anyone else?

Yes, there is. Here is the link:

PocketMac

There is also a Pro version (A.C. Rempt provided a link to the company's regular version).

Another option is to get a digital card reader and share files between your Mac and the PocketPC through the digital media card of the PocketPC.

I'm currently using PocketMac Pro, and it works. It's definitely slower than syncing with a PC. But it does work.

Prius,

Using a crad reader sounds like an easier method in the end. How do you synch information, though? Or is this just for sharing files?

Well for syncing info (such as contacts or to-do items) I think PocketMac is the only choice. The card reader method will work for sharing files and programs that can be run or installed from the PocketPC (a few require .exe installers for PPC apps). A useful idea is saving the backup file from the PocketPC onto the Mac. If you ever have a problem and need to reinstall info (such as contacts) then all you need to do is move the backup file from the Mac to the PocketPC and run the backup/restore program. With these options you have the same or nearly the same syncing functionality as a PC. I'm not sure what PocketMac is capable of... it can install programs that the card reader method may not be able to, such as with the .exe installers.[/LIST]
