Yeah, I am using PocketMac for the Blackberry, and I have to say that it seems like I am walking on egg shells. I tried Entourage for about a week, and all of my syncs got all messed up with my contacts, calendar, to-do list and notes. Then I switched all of my 400mb of emails to Mac Mail, and things are getting simpler from an email standpoint, but some sync issues that happened a while back seem to still be present.

Let's just say that I backup very often.

BlackBerry support is barely tolerable with the 3rd party PocketMac software. I was explaining to Eric that in order to get it to sync my calendar, I had to archive (read: delete) years 1998-2005 from my calendars. It also won’t allow you to specify which calendars to sync and which not to sync. The address book fields don’t all map properly. It’s a real disaster.

I think you are right to wait for the Universal Photoshop. Getting the “Mac Pro 1.1″ release, which will just be faster, better, cheaper is not a bad option. It seems the Macs are moving faster in terms of upgrades now that they are on Intel.

Let’s go to Macworld 2007 and figure it out then. :)

BTW I’ve heard Blackberry support is just fine with the third party software out there, assuming you are using the personal version. Enterprise is still best integrated with Exchange.

I’m still at a loss for a good email app… good grief I’m still on Eudora.
