I'm with isen.... NewtSync was promising, but is now a dead issue for
me. I sent in my money, and it turned out to be mostly useless, not
only do I get duplicate as well as incorrect entries in iCal, but it
also screws up my address book with duplicate and partial entries. It
used to sync pretty well with MacJournal, but that has fallen by the
wayside also. I was banking on continued development, but that
possibility seems very remote at the moment.

I've given up trying to sync the 2100 with anything, I've put too many
hours into trying to make that work. I still use my 2100 a lot, and
have used Newts since my OMP was purchased new. I have even given
Newtons to my brothers to get them hooked. So I'm a long-time
enthusiast. But anything that I need the syncing ability with has now
been transferred over to a Palm Tungsten E. I'm not a happy camper
about that, but I gotta do what works.
