Along with Tech Talk's Alan Grassia, we cover Microsoft's new SyncToy, this week's 1SRC Editorial and why we can finally stop worrying about the Windows Mobile Treo, and what Palm's new business might really mean. Is the LifeDrive just a hesitant beginning. [ details] |

| Great podcast. I really want to try out SyncToy, but for some reason the validation at Microsoft's web page didn't work out, although I run a genuine Windows XP Home installation. It's a pity but I guess I have to live without it. 
Cheers. | |

OK. I don't give up easily. I finally got SyncToy downloaded and installed. I only had to install a lot of other programs/services first, perform a handful of PC restarts, etc. So overall quite an easy and painless installation just as it should be. Sometimes 25+ years of experience with computers come in handy for installing a nifty little tool. 
Anyway, once I got SyncToy running I immediately started loving it. What a handy tool! Very intuitive to use and it makes my T5 even more powerful. Thank you very much for this tip, Jeff. 
Cheers. | |

| Great cast guys. Unfortunately Tyler won't be having you as guests since his #8 downloaded the same time as this one. Thanks for the tip on SyncToy. Will be sharing it tomorrow with some geeks I do volunteer work with to move a project along. | |

| I'm currently listening to the SyncToy portion of the podcast. It's exactly what QuickSync does but only on OS X. | |

| The well known and respected Antoinne claims to have a source which says something different. http://discuss.treocentral.com/show...3&postcount=193 Quote:
Barye;
The engadget gathering was kool, but I resent that prototypical geek look - I am mos def a sterotype breaker 8^) And with not having a Treo, I had to be one of the non BB/non Sidekick crowd to have a little fun
If you remember the Q/A session, they all but assured that it was coming a few times before the first Treo question...will make for an interesting listen if they publish that Q/A session.
Yea, I was in the first mention about him saying that Roc would sell him the 670, thats insane, but makes for an interesting rumor all the more.
Overall, we can now say that its coming, probably in fall, and most probably on VZW sooner rather than later (though my sources tell me that the other carriers are in testing as well). | http://discuss.treocentral.com/show...0&page=10&pp=20 | |

| The Treo in the video running Windows Mobile is probably fake. Jeff Kirvin says it looks real from the video. But if you notice in the video, the screen is not tapped. Looks like a slideshow to me.
Any comments Jeff Kirvin?

| Great entertaining podcast.
I tried SyncToy and it's cool.
It is supposed to be for XP only but I could install it on windows 2000. It seems to work perfectly.
Now, what would be neat is to figure out how to launch SyncToy when you plug your palm (in drive-mode) or put your card into your reader.
The help files mention that there is a command line option to automate the synchronization. It is something like :
c:\program files\Microsoft\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe -R
runs all the synchronization tasks
c:\program files\Microsoft\SyncToy\SyncToy.exe -R"SyncPairName"
runs your synchronisation pair with the name "SyncPairName".
There is a software called "Autorun USB"* but it is not free. I tried it and it kept scanning the floppy disk drive (it was making sounds) so I uninstalled it.
Anyone has an idea ?
*: autorun.inf does not work with removable storage. | |

| Interesting podcast, Jeff.
Re: the questions you ask near the end:
Synctoy? Beautiful! MS puts out a free tool that should allow me to dump my "batch-file/Xcopy-file-backup-to-an-external-hard-drive" system. I'm quite pleased. Thanks for the tip.
WinMob Treo rumors put to rest? No way. These types of rumors are not going away any time soon. Unless Palm comes right out and refers to the videos and pictures and explains that although there are prototypes out there, they have no intention of releasing such a beast any time in the foreseeable future, we will continue to hear about these rumors for some time to come.
Hi-res tablet running PalmOS? Yes, yes, and yes again! Of course that depends on how you describe such a device. It still needs to fit in my pocket comfortably. Otherwise we might as well wait for the mini-laptops to drop in price. It still needs decent battery life. It definitely needs a hi-speed net connection.
Then again, there is so much movement thoughout the industry to come up with the mobile devices that people want that I'm not sure I will still want the same thing by the time Palm delivers such a device. For instance, what will the Nokia 770 develop into over time? What kind of apps will the developers create for the alternate platforms. How many apps will actually survive the migration to PalmLinux? There's a lot of unknowns still.
Speaking of other devices, did anyone notice this reference on PalmAddict to the Jeff Hawkins interview: "In the interview that took place some time in June (after the LifeDrive was released), Mr. Hawkins talks about a "third business" that he's working on at Palm...." ( http://tinyurl.com/ddql9) So what's the truth on this? When was the interview? | |

The interview was posted July 8th. When was the Lifedrive anounced? Perhaps there was some time for the interview to be posted. http://tinyurl.com/d6o7x
