BEELERS  I use Missing Sync for Palm by Markspace software to get the functionality you're talking about with my Palm Treo, Omnifocus and iCal.  
(Version 1.0.1)

BEELERS  Also check your sync settings. If you have it set to always replace your feeds from Newsgator, then sure there is a problem. I have it set to syncronize and not replace. I've been getting the error messages from Newsgator, but I'm still getting my subscriptions.

And yes, it's a beta. Always keep that in mind. There is always the stable option you could revert to available on the Ranchero/Newsgator Web site.  
(Version 2.1b32)

BEELERS  I've been doing this for months. I set my status to available in the prefs and type "%_track-%_artist" in the box for status message. Don't need a 22k app for that (although I don't have a pretty Growl box).  
(Version 0.1b)

BEELERS  I tried this app after it was mentioned in the June Macworld (p. 50, "Jerry Krinock's SafariSorter (free [donations accepted]). This makes the price even more offensive because it looks like greed sparked by knowing a mention in a trade magazine means a lot of hits on the Web site.

I know the alphabet and will do it myself, saving the $20.  
(Version 1.0)

BEELERS  This program is adequate if you use an Olympus recorder, but how hard would it be to put shortcuts for play, stop, skip and cue? These are essential to making this program efficiently usable.  
(Version 1.4.2)

BEELERS  Pulled me away out of the "Fire," and so far I haven't looked back. Development on Adium is moving briskly ahead and I'm on board! Great job guys!
