I know you can use the built-in wifi to sync wirelessly with palm desktop using the network option in hotsync manager, but I use Outlook, and Intellisync Lite does not allow wireless sync for syncing with Outlook. Does anyone know a workaround for this? I would sure love to use this capability.

Chapura PocketMirror?
It's better than Intellisync anyways, I never get any sync errors with PocketMirror.

I looked into Pocket Mirror and agree it's a better product, but I could not find any information that says it supports wireless sync with Outlook.
I sync wirelessly with PocketMirror all the time. It works fine. Have you tried doing a wireless hot sync? If you are doing a full hot sync wirelessly, will Intellisync even know the difference?

I use a utility called NetSync from http://www.whizoo.com/ (freeware) and it lets sync with Outlook over WiFi.

I use a VPN to get to our corporate Exchange server. Works good, lasts long time.

err, excuse me but I didn't realise that this was not supposed to work so I assumed that it would and it does. :)
Who says intellisync doesn't support wireless sync ? Is this another missing feature in the US model ? I just followed the instructions supplied (which I seem to remember said that you would have to do your first time sync by cable and then you could go wireless) and it all works fine.
We are talking Outlook, not Outlook Express aren't we ?
AFAIK it is only the sony supplied data import/export program for memory stick that doesn't support wireless - but the free SMBmate does that so no problem there either.
Anyway I have been syncing wirelessly with outlook using the bundled free intellisync straight out of the box for the last month since I got the machine - try it and see.

Well blow me away. It does work! I went through the whole set up instructions for wireless sync and it works. That'll teach me NOT to read the ReadMe files. After installing Intellisync Lite, I read the Readme file that you are prompted to read after the install, and it says quite specifically that Intellisync does NOT support wifi hotsync.
What a blast! This is so cool!
Thanks, guys, for letting me know!
