there a way to sync the two when they are together? Much like a Palm Pilot
sync feature. The Desktop has BlueTooth and the possibly to upgrade to WiFi.

You'll either need some kind of 3rd party software like ViceVersa, or,
you might be able to use roaming user profiles.

A solution that I came up with was a Perl script. ActivePerl is free, and
the script itself is very simple. I just set up a script to copy important
folders to an external drive, and then restore from that drive on the
tablet. There's no reason it couldn't be modified to sync to and restore
from a network share. Let me know if you want me to post the code if you
don't find a better solution.
