I agree about the poor performance. I really hope they can fix that somehow, but it's starting to look like the heavy reliance on javascript was a design mistake. However I don't have any problems with Mac sync. I've always used Spanning Sync to keep my Mac synced up with my Google account. Once there, the Pre just finds everything automagically. It has been a bit of a shift in thinking to go from the old model of "I need to sync my device with my Mac" to the new "My device will just find what it needs in the cloud". But after using it for a few months, I'm really happy with the change. Palm synergy just works, and I don't at all miss the old way of doing things (cross your fingers and hit the hotsync button).
