Hotsync for Classic on the Pre gets Video Demo
MotionApps just let us know that they've got a demo up of HotSync for Classic, which should hopefully be coming soon.
It's not as dead-simple as your traditional USB-based HotSync (which is a bummer), but if you can grab your PC's IP address, you can do Hotsync over WiFi (which is a sweet deal). We're also pretty impressed with the app installation process, which also can happen over WiFi instead of sideloading to a particular directory.
We should note that as with all things Classic - the data you sync here will live only in Classic, you won't be able to use this functionality to get information from Palm Desktop onto your Pre's core apps.
Parsing MotionApp's post a little bit, when they write "While we are waiting for the highly anticipated update from Palm which will bring HotSync support to Classic users," all we're reading is "highly anticipated update from Palm." We're guessing that means that rather than pushing out a Classic update directly, HotSync support will be rolled into the next webOS update. We also know that webOS 1.2 is out there, hopefully HotSync support in Classic won't be the only feature.
