Update: Treo 650 sync performance

This is a followup to yesterday's post on infrared sync. Tony Estrada ran some tests to compare the different types of Hotsync with the Treo 650 and a T30 laptop. He posted his results here. Bluetooth sync performance is pretty good; only 2x slower than USB. Infrared sync, on the other hand, is a lot slower; over 8 times slower than USB. The difference in speed for a T41 may be more dramatic since it supports USB 2.0 whereas the T30 only supported USB 1.1.
