Mark Space Announces Missing Sync for Windows Mobile 5
Mark Space has announced a pre-release alpha version of Missing Sync for Windows Mobile 5. The release is being made available to existing Missing Sync customers.
Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is the first Mac OS X application to offer support for devices running Windows Mobile 5. Up until now, Treo 700w owners have not been able to sync with their Macs. This alpha release is a Universal application, with native support for both Intel and PowerPC Macs.
The final v2.5 release will be provided as a free upgrade for v2.0 owners. No official word yet from Mark/Space regarding the official release date. The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile retails for $39.95.
Those who install the preview, should be aware of the following limitations:
- It's neither feature-complete nor bug-free.
- WM5 devices can only connect via Bluetooth and perform a "slow sync", meaning that all records are compared. This takes longer. (The final release will support USB connections and "fast sync". Due to security changes in WM5, Wi-Fi connections will not be supported.)
- This alpha release requires an existing version 2.0 license and registration code for The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.
More information regarding Windows Mobile 5 support for Mac can be found at Mark Space.
