I have never had any trouble with it, and I have been using it for two years now. Sure you can buy cards and they're good for storing files on, but then what happens when you don't remember "Now which version of that file did I save on the card?" Then you gotta look at the dates on each saved file and make sure you don't overwrite the wrong one. Sure, that might work if you work on a file on one machine, save it immediately on the card and transfer it right away to the other machine. But what if you leave it for even a day or two, perhaps longer. Are you gonna remember which version is where so you don't overwrite the most recent one? Maybe if you only have a few, but what if you have dozens, or even hundreds and work on several at different times on different machines. Then it gets a little more complicated than just transfering a file or two from one machine to another on a card.

For goodness save, buy yourself a card reader for fifteen dollars and get cheap cards or something instead of activesync. It is free. It is annoying and takes much longer than transferring with Windows Explorer to a card or some other storeage medium.

Down with activesync and its quirks.
