Mac usage

[ejunge]

I don't want to re-open the thread about Suunto does not support Mac. I just bought an Intel Duo Core Mac and I was wondering how to use my Suunto Software on it. I would prefer to use a virtual PC rather than Boot camp and Windows, but Virtual PC does not work on new PC's. Can anyone recommend a PC Emulator that is fairly easy to install??


Also, whoever is incharge could you add me to the list of people who are complaining about this. I am a dealer and didn't evenknow this was an issue...

If you have a dual core, go through the process to partition your hard drive. Load WindowsXP or XP Pro. Restart and hold down the option key. A window will appear asking you if you want to open in Windows or Mac. Open in Windows. You should have no problem loading the Suunto software and running it since you are in a full Windows environment. Virtual PC will not work on the Intel Macs

I have added Parallels to my mac and can run windows in a virtual window on my mac. This has solved the issue for now, but it is still a less than perfect solution..

If you actually have a dual core, run part of it in Windows. my son is a mechanical engineer. He had to run all his engineering programs in the PC environment.He also had to deal with all the asociated PC problems. He bought a Intel MacBookPro and has never looked back. He loves it. No crashes, fast, etc.

I called the Suunto Helpdesk and asked if and when there will be a Training Manager Software for Mac.

Answer: "In the future there will be a Version for Mac, but currently we can't say, when."

I do hope, that Suunto will bring the Mac Version soon to the market, because Polar has nothing, Garmin not the best solution, and all Third-Party-Software do not have the full functionality of Suunto's Training Manager.

If Suunto does not disclose their roadmap for their software development, they must accept, that some potential customers will not buy a Suunto watch, but wait, if Garmin is delivering better quality and if Polar is also announcing a Mac version - what will be very likely, because worldwide share of mac computers is steadily rising.

Hope the best for a good Christmas Beta Version of Training Manager for Mac!!!
