First the reason to upgrade. Apple have added a generic SyncML plugin for iSync, so any device that supports SyncML can be made to work. All you need to do is follow the instructions to create a plugin and you’re away.
However, that means you have to survive the latest bug in Leopard. It seems that someone got confused with the idea of moving files. E.g. copy the files to the new location, delete them from the old one if the copy went ok. It seems that if the destination goes missing (say a network drive disconnects or an external drive gets unplugged by mistake) Leopard just decides that it’s finished copying and deletes the source files. Oops. There’s also a bug where Time Machine can hide your backups if you’ve put anything but [a-z A-Z 0-9] in your computers name.
Yet again it seems the advice to never use/buy and Apple .0 release is as true as ever. Pity really since Leopard does seem to be a good upgrade otherwise.
