I\'m no developer, and forgive me if I\'m being gormless, but wouldn\'t it be good if it were possible to sync the tkc rom with Aethera? I don\'t use Outlook as a matter of principle, but I have to run Windoze on my machine, and syncing between two tkc products seems like a neat solution to the problem of having calendar and address book in different places. I\'d pay to be able to do it!

They have it planned.

Thanks for that.

I see that March 2004 is the date they \'envision\' in their timeline/roadmap. Does anyone know what kind of a record they have in keeping to their schedule?

I purchased 4 apps a year ago. None of them work as advertised. tkcMail in particular promised IMAP when introduced somewhere around 18-24 months back, still does not work. I have removed all TKC apps from my Zaurus and chalked it up to a learning experience. I use the ROM, but that development is by Proto, independent of TKC. I am using the KOrganizer/Pi PIM app and syncing it with KOrganizer on my Linux desktop, via unison. The ical format is supported by other apps as well. From what I have seen TKC may have sync to Aethera working in another year or two, don\'t hold your breath.

I agree with you slocaus. All my TKC apps have been archived and I\'ve moved to OZ. I find the PIM apps there better than TKC although I haven\'t tried KOrganizer/Pi yet. With the exchange to $US everything from TKC was a real expensive lesson for me.

@ guest
I\'m in the USA so cost was not that much, but I would rather it had gone to someone deserving, and not such a poorly run kompany, with such poor support, and the excuse that the user hacked and ruined their program; that because I installed to SD card when they did not recommend. Anyway, save money, time, and frustration. Don\'t buy tkc. Moving on.

KO/Pi is great, and the fact that I can sync (with unision, not a true sync) with Linux is enough for me.
