Guest LSmith4285 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 1. has anyone got a list of compatible software for it, coz i cant find much at all online Try searching Pocket PC, PPC and WM5, most pocket PC and PPC stuff works and all WM5 will work 2. is there any way to connect it via USB to a Mac? I'm not sure if there is a sync client to use with mac, however if you use WM5torage you can turn your phone into a USB Mass Storage device which should recognise on Macs and let you copy stuff across.

Guest kaf Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 ive found that most ppc software, doesnt work on WM5 and the mass storage app doesnt work :) Personally I've found that most software DOES work on WM5 The mass storage works but probably not on a mac - the mass storage software did seem to screw up my SD but this could have been caused by something else .... after ripping one apart I see they are on a very very flimsy PCB
