Palm support on the Mac (Monday, June 18th, 2007)

I’ve been a little cranky for the past couple of days about Palm. Love, hate. Love, hate. Hate.

The latest? This company called GoKnow Learning publishes a few apps I’m supposed to use for class–specifically, Sketchy and FlingIt!–but there are issues, wouldn’t you know.

Sketchy, prior to like version 1.9.5, doesn’t work on the T|X. The Mac installer includes version 1.9.3. And FlingIt! doesn’t fling anything, at least not on my computer.

I sent a support request on Friday. No response yet.

Seriously, GoKnow–I know Palm’s support for the Mac is minimal, but we do have a third party synching app (The Missing Sync) that blows anything Palm ever offered us out of the water. Well worth the 40 bucks.

    My advice?

    Save your money and don’t buy the GoKnow software as it’s now seriously dated and flawed and their support for Palm is almost non-existent.

    The Missing Sync however is worth every dime!

    Pete–I agree and luckily my class was short enough to not have to buy GoKnow or anything else besides the Palm itself. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough, but it seems like Palm support in general is slipping. (Except the Missing Sync. I agree it’s a great product–haven’t tried out their new version but what I was using made my T|X usable.)

    I haven’t had a chance to talk about it yet, but I wound up buying an iPhone and have been very happy with it.
