Over-the-air syncing solutions, anyone?
So I'm looking for solid ways to keep my Mac and my new Treo synced without, well, syncing them.
Let me put it another way. I hate HotSyncing. Have since my first palm. I always forget, and the information I need seems to always be on the other device... the one I don't have.
So I'm looking for any sort of automated, over-the-air syncing solutions that can make sure my Mac (iCal and Address Book) and my Treo stay updated without me having to remember to sync the damn thing.
An example? GooSync, which automatically syncs your Google Calendars to your mobile - I set my iCal to sync automatically with Google, and GooSync syncs to the Treo. Now I don't have to think about keeping them synced.
Does anybody have any good solutions to list here for address book info? I've heard automated over-the-air syncing can be done with Exchange servers; are there services we can sign up for to do this stuff for us?
What about photos? Is there some ingenious iPhoto > Flickr > Treo app I don't know about?
Please... post anything you can think of that shares info between Mac and Treo without having to plug in a USB cable (or run the Bluetooth sync).

I've yet to have reliable experience with GooSync. (or the other Google Cal OTA soft for palm) Too many missing items and duplicate entries.
As far as uploading photos easily goes, check out SplashBlog or (my prefered palm blogging platform now...) Vox. They're both owned by the same people anyway. Vox seems faster and more reliable, and the site is just plain nicer all around. I have yet to get video uploads working with them, though. I don't know of any iPhoto/Flickr uploader, but Vox integrates with both of those services nicely, so you can easily work with all three as sources to display in your blog if you so choose. Vox also has an XP uploader tool for mass uploads, though I don't think there's a Mac tool.
Don't remind me of syncing over Bluetooth. Bleh. I lost my USB cable over 6 months ago and have had to do BT syncs whenever I chose to do a sync. I rarely sync anymore, actually. I use NVBackup, which is all I need. It can also automatically FTP your current backup (zipped, of course) if you have an FTP server. It can then restore from the FTP copy later if you have a crash. Pretty crazy, though I've never tried that. Restore from SD card is good by me.
Good luck finding something, and let me know how you get GooSync working well!
