For Palm, Some Tough Smartphone Acts to Follow

The phone certainly looks exciting, but there's one thing I've never seen anyone discuss: Synchronization software. Palm's desktop software has historically, IMHO, sucked. And they have never played well with others. I don't want a Palm calendar and address book. I just want to it work with the tools I already use. I want my iCal, iTunes (for non DRM tracks) and iPhoto libraries to sync seamlessly and without issues. If they can do that, then I might be tempted away from my iPhone. Great synchronization, on the Mac anyway, is a big part of what makes the iPhone experience great.
