You know, for Mac users, Sony is particularly non-intuitive. Got the $50 rebate after figuring out how to register the reader. Thanks on that!

As far as parallels go, I had to reboot after installing the software. Then, when I plugged in the reader, I got the "found new hardware" message. Successful. Try unplugging and replugging -- no joy. Told XP to reboot -- now hangs on "shutting down" window. Force quit through parallels and reboot. Works the first time each time alone. Geez. Not sure if this is a parallels issue or a bad connect software issue.

I do get the software to launch each time -- it's just that it can't see the reader unless I reboot in-between "syncing". Good thing I don't plan on using this for RSS feeds!!

Windows XP Home and Parallels build 1940.

Anyone else notice that Connect is trying to look like itunes?
