Anyone using this heap of dung successfully?
It brings a whole new meaning to the word SLOW and constantly warns me that it's about to sync something or other (duh! yes, just go ahead ffs!).
Useless, Apple. Major FAIL.
Only $99 p.a. Bargain!

It (now) works like a dream for me.
I'm syncing - iMac, Macbook, iPod touch & wife's WinXp laptop.
However, I only use it to sync address books, calendars & bookmarks (just calendars with the wife).
I've run into trouble syncing widgets & mail accounts before so I just don't bother (all my mail access is IMAP now so a non-issue). Widgets isn't such a big deal as I have lots more widgets on my imac than my macbook.
I don't often use the web front end - I know that was a problem when it was first launched, but I'll be getting two months free from them at the end of this year for that debacle.
Also, I have it set to sync automatically. In practice, this means it can take anywhere from 0-5 minutes to get up to "the cloud" and another 0-5 minutes to get propagated out to all devices.
I rarely get the warning messages about "too much is changing - are you sure" unless the wife has booked loads of social engagements or the macbook has been away from a network for a while.
