Review:

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone". What if my only sin is downloading this product and trying to think its useful?

So you download this product, thinking all your problems will be solved: you will be more organized, your work will magically get done, you will be more connected to the current events. Think again!

iPodSync messes up your iPod. How does it manage to do that? It places things in random order. So your contacts will be in your ACDC folder, if you are listening to Cold Play, the news will pop up. As you are watching your favorite episode of the Lost, you will be lost because it will play your to-do list, instead of the next episode.

Do not like Microsoft Outlook, you are out of luck. Only way it synchronizes your contacts is through Outlook. If you decide that you do not want all your contacts on your mp3 player because and mp3 player is supposed to play music, you will be slapped with an "Index out of Bounds". As a constant reminder of bad programming, this error message will also occur if you decide that you are not ready to create a new profile yet.

In an attempt to scream out, "Hey you paid for me, now use me", iPodSync places an icon on your task bar. There is no way to change the very "Mac" looking skin. This perfect amalgamation of static environment and limited advanced features such as maximum appointments and language settings, iPodSync is reproachable.

Conclusion:

At $13.45 this product is not worth buying. There are other open-source products that are much more functional.
