I use starfish truesync on winbleh to sync up my handspring platinum
visor with my computer and my motorola v60i.  I know that I can sync my
PDA to various linux apps, but do any support phones as well and let me
sync both to my computer at once?

Wow.  Why do I have the feeling I'm just not living in the modern world?
Platinum visor?  Handspring visor?  Synchronizing a mobile phone with a
computer?

Kinda makes me glad to be a hermit, I think.

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention: both PDA and phone are on USB.
Unfortunately, I don't think my phone does the IR thing, so that's not
really an option.

Depends on how you view it.  My cell phone is my only phone, and it's a
heck of a lot easier to enter contact info into the computer than it is
into the phone!  So with this setup, my PDA is where I generally look
first to find info, my computer is where it's easiest to enter the info
and rearrange it, and my cell is where it's most convenient to have
phone numbers.  But once I enter info in one place, it propagates to all
three.

It's also nice to know that if any one of the three goes braindead, the
data will be stored in two other places.  Well, the cell phone is
limited in that respect, but at least I'd have my most-used numbers.

The one gripe I have is that some part of the configuration doesn't
allow me feed multiple categories into the phone.  I have to choose one.
So I had to create a separate "phone" group just for that.  But I can
copy/paste entries inside the software interface, so it's not too, too
bad.

Mind you, my phone is a couple of years old and my PDA is even older;
it's not like this is bleeding edge technology =P

(Then again, I still haven't invested in one of those new-fangled DVD
drives, so maybe *I'm* the hermit.)

KDE's Kitchensync should support that in the future. Currently in KDE, there
's
Kandy for mobile phone synching, Kpilot for HotSync syncing (supporting your
Visor amongst others) and Kitchensync does synching with the Opie platform (
I
use it to sync my linux running Ipaq).

The idea seems to be that Kitchensync would become the framework to 'sync
anything with anything' but currently, it's not yet there. However, it is un
der
development in CVS, so maybe in the future, it may be what you've been waiti
ng
for.


I know this is not really an answer to your question, but I just wanted to p
oint
out this option for the future.

Just a different lifestyle or something, I guess.  I can't imagine what data
 I
would manage if I had all of that stuff.

Sounds like you're too busy managing information to have time to watch one
anyway.  

I'm not poking fun at all, for the record.  I just feel slightly out of touc
h.
I really do live in a bubble.  Straight home from work, and I stay home unti
l
it's time to go to work again.  My car sat in the same spot for nine days th
e
last time I was on vacation.

Phone numbers and appointments.  I've tried using all the other
fanciness, but I never seem to stick with it.  Post-its on the wall work
better for me than a to-do list.

Mind you, I wouldn't have a PDA except that my old company gave one to
everyone as part of a reward deal.  There are other things on which I'd
rather spend my money, but for free it's not bad!

Oh, my husband brought a DVD *player* into the marriage, so I can watch
them on TV -- I'm talking about in my computer.  I've toyed with the
idea, though, particularly to burn off archives; it's just never been
important enough to me.

Well, if that's what you like, that's great =)  I don't get out much,
either, for social events, but mountain biking keeps my car pretty busy.

Thanks for the heads-up, anyway.  It's good to know they're working in
that direction.  Maybe I'll poke my head over there and check it out; I
don't know much about how the syncing works, but I'd imagine that
kitchensync is more about making the various file formats interoperate,
and I ought to be able to help with that.  If I can get off my lazy
butt.

A DVD drive in a computer is a *really* good way to watch a DVD.
The screen resolution is better than *anything* I've seen on TV.
