NX70 and NZ90, what to do for synch?

[Mr. Thompson]

The title says it all. I picked up a NZ today and my wife still uses an NX. Preferably, I would like to synch both Clies to my Xeon box, as I download all the software for both Clies with it. I can't figure out a way to do this.

The most likely alternative is to setup the NX on another computer on the network and place downloaded programs in the shared folder. Any thoughts?

Name them differently and they will sync appropriately.
Congrats on the purchase. You'll love the NZ!

We have two NXs with different names. The problem is USB ports and cradles.

I no follow... Are you out of available usb ports? I wouldn't think it's like a serial port connection Cradle issue aside, the connectors are the samefor the NX and NZ, you could use a portable connector.

The connectors may be the same but the housing is different. You can't fit the non-cradle connector for the NX series into the housing for the NZ. The NZ connector is located in the middle of the unit on the back about 2/3rds of the way up. It is recessed in a hole with a plastic covering that keeps dirt out. Kind of sucks, as the only way to sync/charge from 2nd computer is to take your whole cradle with you.

All you have to do is use a hotsync cable, you can pick that up at CompUSA or wherever, since they have the same connector.
