I can only address your question about the connectivity pack. I have not
hotsynched the Omnigo by updating the data on the PC and then back to the Omnigo.
I have only backed up my data from the Omnigo to PC once a month and hard copy
printed the data from the PC. I have avoided going back and forth with the data
to avoid any possibility of data corruption. Most likely the hotsynching works
fine and for the most part without errors. I just can't afford the time to undo
a mistake or corruption from the PC transferred to the Omnigo. The main use of
the Omnigo for me is it's portability, not the ability to have two locations of
the appointment book, phone book, and notepad. It takes too much brain power
for me to keep track of which is the most current and correct data!
Hope that makes sense!
