I'm also not sure how Windows would handle this (does it auto-accept certain hotsync requests over network?), but I've got it working with Linux/Jpilot using a couple simple cronjobs (jpilot-sync starts at 06:15, Palm tries to sync five minutes later at 06:20). Like I said, however, I'm not certain how Windows handles that.

I definitely agree that if the wifi doesn't appeal to you at all then you probably shouldn't look at the TX too heavily, maybe look at the T5 or, as you suggested, the E2 instead - depending on your price range.
