I got the Zire to replace my big calendar/contact notebook -
printing out my weekly calendar from Personal Organizer.
iSync does work "sort of", with iCal and PO, but I gave up
on syncing for awhile
because it does NOT transfer groups/priorities/etc to the
Zire, but puts them all in "unfiled".  So for now it's a
rather klutzy routine to keep the Zire/iBook up to date,
but it's still better than what I had.

iSync also seemed to screw up my USB connections - every
time I used it, I had to restart and futz with my mouse
and printer connections to get them back to normal.

The Zire's size and battery are it's great points.
