The last hurdle to 100% user satisfaction is behind me. My Treo 600 cell phone just sync'd with the Palm Desktop in XP. Fantastic! Edit: This is in RC3, build 3170, by the way.
Tungsten T3 Failure Glad for you. I can only get my Tungsen T3 to HotSync in Windows by setting the VM's Autonnect on, which takes over my MBP's USB ports until I shut down Parallels Desktop. Yes, after initiating the HotSync session with the autoconnect turned off I selected the Palm Handheld in the USB menu. I heard the Windows tone indicating it had detected the connect attempt- then nothing
I don't allow autoconnect here for the reason you mention. The Treo 600 usb connector is silent until you push the hotysync button so what I did was push the button then select the Palm device from the Parallels Devices->USB menu. Windows recognized it as a new device and I let it install the driver. When that completed the data transfer began and ran to completion. I had no idea I had so many pictures stored on the phone . They cannot be downloaded to the Mac Palm Desktop as there's no conduit for the Mac.
