    What's the ETA?

    This device is becoming one of the key corporate assets, and one of the main reasons I would run a PC on my mac (we use a BES).

    Once MS releases a universal office, it could be the only reason. If it's not supported on Parallels it's going to rule the product out for me.

    Thanks for all of your work so far, great product.

    Posted elsewhere but though you might be interested...

    Here's my story - success in a round about way.
    I'm running 3036 Beta because thats the only build I can make this work on.
    I run Desktop Manager 4.2.0.14 and Handheld 4.2.0.71
    Connect Pearl via USB (no USB unavailable warning comes up). Open DM - it takes while to connect. Disconect Pearl. Plug it in again (you will now get the USB warning - click OK on the warning) It will now connect AND sync.
    All this is achieved by having Pocketmac INSTALLED in OSX. If you remove Pocketmac you won't get anywhere in Parallels. I know this is contrary to popular opinion but that how it works for me. If you install any later version of Parallels, you will eventually get a spinning wheel of death that locks everything up, including OSX and you will have to do a hard restart.
    I'm on a MBPro 15" single Core Duo. XP Pro on the VM
