HoldSync allows you to HotSync by holding one of your hardware buttons.
Enabled by default, it can't get any easier than that:
Hold first hardware button for 8/10 of a second and release to HotSync.
(You'll hear a confirmation sound after holding the button long enough) Disable by clearing the "Hold..." check-box, or change the button and the hold period to your liking.
Best of all, you won't lose a precious button for this:
Pressing the button shortly, does the default action for that button.
Holding the button when device is unplugged, should do nothing at all.
