Anyone using PocketMirror with the PalmPre

[tominperu]

Is anyone using PocketMirror with the PalmPre to sync with Outlook?

I use a Palm Centro at the moment and like the idea of buying a Palm Pre but it needs to work as well as KeySuite (also by Chapura) does on the Palm Centro with Outlook Sync.

Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Looks like a great program! Thanks for sharing it. Sorry I can't comment on how well it works. I have a Pre but I do most of my GTD through Nozbe.

Ellen - do you use Nozbe with your Pre? I was browsing their website and they only mention support for iPhone; is the Pre support something relatively new?

Thanks!

I've been using PocketMirror with a Palm Pre for several weeks. The tasks and calendar sync very well. For some reason, I haven't been able to sync the notes and contacts, but I think that's a problem that can be fixed when I have more time.

Good to know! Is that with a sync on wireless?

Yes I do use Nozbe on my Pre. I use the website inozbe.com. It's set up for the iphone but works really well with my Pre.
Hope that helps.

You sync by wireless. Both the pre and the pc need to be on the same wireless network. I wish it was possible to sync via the web and instantaneously but I don't think that's possible.

Yes, this is my concern. At home I have wireless so I should be able to sync at home. But at work my laptop is not on wireless but connected to the internet via a lead to the company server and to get a wireless connection would probably be a hassle as they wouldn't understand why it was necessary. Outlook on my computer syncs with an Exchange server, so I can also access my outlook account on a web page. But from what you are saying it sounds like PocketMirror couldn't sync with the that directly either or am I wrong?

Is it possible to sync via bluetooth? I do already have that on my work laptop. It's annoying they couldn't just keep the old lead connection which, though perhaps antiquated, did do the job just fine.

By the way, how is PocketMirror? I really like Chapura Keysuite on the Centro and imagine its at least as good.
