A simple application to give iSync one button Hotsync behavior

This trivial little application emulates the single click with auditory response behavior of Hotsync with iSync on Mac OS X. I use and like it because that's what I'm used to, and though I find the combination of a Mac and a Nokia Phone to be better than using in Palm in most ways (especially syncing data), I wanted to improve my experience with it a tiny bit.

Here's the program as executable AppleScript zip archive.

Here's the full source of the application, in case you're interested:

(*
 * A trivial little script to give one-click sync with auditory feedback
 * (just like "hotsync"). Stick it in your dock for one-click happiness.

 *
 * David Z. Creemer, 2006. Placed in the public domain.

tell application "iSync"
	say "starting sync"
	synchronize
	repeat while syncing
		delay 5
	end repeat
	set s to sync status
	if s is 1 or s is 2 then
		say "sync completed without error"
		quit
	else
		say "Sync error. Please check the logs."
	end if
end tell
