I was looking at iSync and surprised that it sync'd with smart phones but not windows mobile. My suggestion is for a way to sync PDAs with the Mac in a way that is robust and consistent with the rest of Mac software. The low number of PDAs surprises me, because I know lots of people with windows mobile PDAs, especially combination phones.
My suggestion was that the syncing for Windows Mobile is incorporated into iSync. Apple wrote the software, it's clearly expandable and they do a good job.
At present, my Mac doesn't recognise my PDA, either connected via bluetooth or USB. The Missing Sync is great, but MS ActiveSync translates Pocket Word documents so they can be read by MS word. There is another 3rd party product that does this, and this requires yet another sync setup and associated messing around. Much easier to have it all in the one product.
As far as who writes it, I think we can all come up with equally valid reasons why different parties should write it. However, I'm more interested in having it written (yep, 3rd parties are there), integrated into the Mac OS standard and consistent. My best idea is iSync.
