Treo 650 & Mac as Playmates?

Post by Chris Bauer »

I've never had a PDA but need a new phone and love the idea of getting email on the road. I'm considering the Treo 650 but have no idea about either how easy it is to use or how well it syncs with Macs.

I'm especially interested in knowing how and how well the email programs work together. (I'm using Eudora on my Mac>)

Anyone with any experience or even some credible sounding rumors??

Road E mail is screwy because it is not hard drive based like POP at home. Even with a laptop its a real mess trying to do the POP thing outside of your home server. Get a Gmail account or something like that for road work and use your forwarding feature on your home Email to keep in touch.
I use a Palm PDA with a mac and it works great for calendar and contacts. I uses the palm desktop software. I don't know about compatability issues with Treo.
