I recently bought a Palm Tungsten T, which I love, and all the software was included with the device. You would only need to purchase the extra Missing Sync software if you purchase a Sony Clie, because, for whatever reason, Sony does not include drivers for Macs. Any Palm device will work with your mac right out of the box. Brian Fish <X))><
