Update: See “Persistence Pays Off: Treo and Mac Get Along — Mostly.”
Talk about life on the bleeding edge. I recently got a new MacBook Pro laptop for work, which kind of triggered a chain reaction of other purchases.
I have a two-year old Samsung Palm phone hosted by Sprint , which by itself was working just [...]
