Hotsync Palm Tungstens via Bluetooth
Authored by: foobar104 on Jun 26, '03 12:15:34PM

How does the speed of Bluetooth sync compare to USB sync? Is there a noticeable difference one way or the other?

Also, just to be really pedantic, does this setup, once complete, work with iSync? (I'm almost positive the answer is yes; I just want to be sure before I invest $40 in a Bluetooth adapter that I don't need for anything other than my Palm.)

Interesting. I managed to get my Tungsten to sync via Bluetooth doing just about the exact opposite of what the knowledge base article tells you to do. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous one day, I'll try that one.

In any case, to answer the next question, it does work with iSync. You must install the iSync conduit after you install the Palm Desktop software. That includes any updates to the Palm Desktop software. You'll have to reinstall the iSync conduit. And the speed via Bluetooth is much, much slower than via USB. It works fine if there isn't a lot to sync. If there is, put it on the cradle and push the button.

It does, just get the iSync Palm conduit, available on Apple's website.

Syncing over Bluetooth is far too slow to use on a regular basis...

USB and pressing the button is the way to go...
