More experiences:

- It always backs up my .pdb files even if, it seems, I've not changed
  them.  Haven't found a setting for that yet.

- I use iSilo to read html documents and one document is called
  "Credenda/Agenda".  This name causes a java.io.FileNotFoundException for
  obvious reasons.

- I tried the mail conduit with the "local" setting.  I did not check the
  "Desktop overwrites PDA" option but it still deleted all the mail from
  my "Filed" category.  I haven't found what it did with them.  This
  wasn't very cool IMHO.

- After every sync, my Pilot presents the popup that says the connection
  was broken and some data was not backed up.  The pdasync log doesn't
  show anything related.

- It is multithreaded so you can do other things (check the log, double
  check conduit settings, etc) while it is sync'ing.

Anyone know the status on possible APIs for writing java conduits? I
didn't find anything one the pdasync related pages, nor on the sunsolve
site (but then this is very new).
