So I guess the search for the perfect solution goes on...

I screwed around with Virtual PC for a while, but also found it difficult to establish USB connectivity, so I abandoned the emulator idea as well.
Don't know why it never occured to me before but here's a thought that just hit me, which you or anyone else using BootCamp might answer: given that you're actually using an entirely different OS (XP) and RIM's Desktop software, there's obviously no integration with Apple's iApps (iCal, Calendar, Stickies, etc.). So, once again, even this natively operating integration seems to demand a compromise for Mac/BB users.
I'd love to hear how Boot Camp users are dealing with that... seems like even if you use Boot Camp, you'll still need a half-baked solution like PM for Mac-app to BB integration.
