C'mon devs!
You make it sound like they are actively preventing you from doing it, when in reality, you can't do it because they haven't built, tested and delivered it yet. As the old engineering saying goes, "cheap, fast, correct: choose any two!" After all the "fun" that was had with the initial launch of sync and the iPhone app, Omni is probably going to be very conservative and shipping the Bonjour sync support only when they are confident it is ready to go. This time around they don't have to worry about external pressures like the App Store launch. Much better that they ship something that won't have the same teething pains!
