All well and good, but...
Synchronization is the wrong approach
Successful use of synchronization requires you to be zealous about performing synchronizations before modifying data; especially where multiple data repositories (or desktops) are involved.
The best solution is one which allows you to access and manipulate the data on the handheld/PDA/phone/etc. from your desktop without requiring specialized interface applications.

For example, the last time I looked, none of the free programs worked with the expanded memo format that is used on newer Palms. Got a 6k memo? Prepare to lose 2k on the sync, or, if you manage to get it down, prepare not to see it all because the desktop application can't comprehend a memo being that big.
Maybe the latest versions fix this...
