I've been a big fan of Jpluck and Sunrise for quite a while now, and have recently moved from a Tungsten T3 to a x50v. I especially appreciated the way that documents on the Palm can be sent straight to the expansion card. My question is, is it possible to do the same thing with Sunrise and the Axim? Currently, Sunrise outputs to the My Documents shortcut, and syncs when I cradle. I would much rather that those 5 megs of feeds go to the SD card, however..

Additionally, does anybody know if the final release of Sunrise will feature any kind of activesync integration?

jadedboi, I have tried the same (syncing directly to my PPC), but haven't found a way yet.

Yes, it will. You'll also be able to choose the memory card as a destination.

A poster on another thread recommended Mobsync. I haven't tried it yet, but will be doing so shortly. You have to wade through some mostly japanese pages to find the download link.

Actually, I installed Mobsync a couple of weeks ago and it does the job brilliantly. Next, I'll see if it can keep saved games synced between SNES9x and PocketSNES.

My RSS reading has completely changed however, since I started doing more of it on my Macintosh. I still sync to the PPC with Sunrise on a PC, but I find that I don't really pay attention to feeds on my PPC anymore, because I've read most of what I wanted to that morning.

This leaves me looking forward to Laurens' commercial product and its "only transfer unread items" feature. It's sounding like it could be a really nice integrated solution for RSS. Now if only there was Mac support planned... I really miss the fact that JPluck was cross platform, but find Sunrise just overall a far better experience.

I know what you mean regarding reading habits. I haven't quite figured out the best way to juggle this, but what I have found is that websites or RSS feeds that have longer articles, I like to take the time to read and digest. But when I'm at my computer, I am usually at work or home doing either a) something productive or b) playing games, and in all of these cases I'm not in the mood to read long articles. So what I do is sync the feeds and sites with long articles to my PPC. Then I'll read thse when I am standing in line, or sometimes during lunch. In other words, when I'm not at my computer where something else is taking up most of my attention.

Regarding Sunrise being cross-platform, maybe we can convince Laurens to code it in QT? He said he's doing it in C++, might as well use the cross platform QT gui toolkit, which is based on C++.
