		<description>Dude ever heard of missingsync? My blackjack syncs like a breeze with my macbook pro core2 - iphoto pics, mp3 from itunes, address book and ical...

If you would have googled i607 mac sync the first link would have answered your question... so I am amazed that you spent hours trying to track down that info and still can't find it... I hope you don't have a job dealing with any technology or one that relies on efficiency...</description>

		<description>"Whatever the reason, you handled this situation pathetically and have only yourself to blame".

Ted, my dear...I have to say, while it is your opinion that ShandyKing handled the situation as you say "pathetically", I for one think he handled the situation quite successfully.

He fully did his homework, knew exactly the features that were needed and he was just looking for a sensible sales rep to help him finish the deal.  The latter is not an unreasonable request as in-store customer sales reps IMHO can be just as helpful, if not more helpful in trusting in the right decision to purchase an expensive piece of equipment.   

The pre-research is all about knowing the right questions to ask a sales rep upon walking into a store.  I think ShandyKing was more than thorough in that area.  

In the end, I got one of the most top of the line PDA's out there and ShandyKing got...well, let's just say...if our bedroom walls could talk....</description>

		<description>Ted you lame ass! How is it dumb for a consumer to check if the product is compatible before buying it? The stores should know if it is or not as they are the ones selling it. You say the problem is with Shandy, sounds like he did the right thing by checking before he bought it. 

You then say its Apples fault for making their stuff so proprietary. Whose fault is it then, Shandykings for double checking to see if the product works or Apples? You’re the pathetic one for taking the time to write such a crappy comment.</description>

		<description>I find it hard to believe you did hours of research and couldn't find an answer to your dumb question. The problem is with you. You and so many like you expect everyone to bend over backwards because you are too lazy or stupid to figure out for yourself if it works or not. If they gave you such a hard time you should have bought something else instead of standing around whining and bothering people. There are about 50,000 types of PDAs available now. Did you ever think of calling Apple and asking them? Maybe it's thier fault for being so damn proprietary. Whatever the reason, you handled this situation pathetically and have only yourself to blame.</description>
