Since I have got my GTD solution pretty much running smoothly, I have become more and more dependent on keeping stuff synced between the Mac and the N95, and the cycle of starting iSync and then synchronising got a bit tedious. While there are solutions such as Salling Clicker that can automate the synchronisation, I found the battery consumption overhead due to non-stop BT connection slightly too heavy.
For a stopgap solution, I found a trick with Applescript that can be used to make a single-button sync application on my desktop or Dock. The complete Applescript in all its glory is:
tell application "iSync" synchronize end tell
This ingenious show of programming skill is sufficient for my purposes. Are there any better iSync automation tools/tricks out there?

Now iSyncit looks very promising, thanks for the pointer. I have now set up a scheduled sync, and looking forward to see how it fares.
