This is my call for Mark/Space to hurry up and release Missing Sync for BlackBerry. While I love my new BlackBerry Pearl, it is easy to tell why PocketMac is free. Besides crashing all the time, it also has a tendency to duplicate data and not pick up changes. I've seen many posts about people losing data so I worry every time I click that green button. On top of it not working correctly, it has two major deficiencies. First, you cannot sync documents. If you create a memo on your blackberry, it syncs to Stickies. I don't know about you but this seems like a pretty worthless feature. I've been a mac user since the System 7 days and I've never thought stickies were worth the disk space the app consumed. The other major annoyance is its lack of file transfer capability. I have a MicroSD card but the only way to move anything to it is by mounting the card as a external hard drive. Unfortunately, I see no way to copy pdf docs or other known formats and open the docs up using the phone software. Another weird thing is that the disk only has folders for pictures and audio. I'm a standard ring tone kinda guy. I think a phone should sound like, well a phone. I rarely take pictures with me so that feature isn't being utilized either. What I'd really like to do is grab the latest technical PDF with me and read it while waiting to get my hair cut or while standing in line somewhere. Hopefully the Mark/Space notebook will solve this problem for me. Right now, I'm forced to email the docs to myself and access them that way.
