“Apple would love to corner the hot market for software that syncs up PCs with cell phones and other gadgets. But then there’s Microsoft–and its pesky bundling habit.”

This headline is misleading, but its interesting to note that MS is planning on bundling ActiveSync in future Windows releases. Considering that Apple hasn’t even touched the Pocket PC market in terms of sync technology, while MS doesn’t currently support anything but Pocket PC, I think both companies have a ways to go before anyone will be making a desktop unit purchase decision based on mobile device synchronization.
