Missing Sync For Pre Helps Sync Contacts and Calendar

Palm already lets you sync the Pre with iTunes via its clever pretending-to-be-an-iPod, but that only gets music, video and photos onto your phone. Missing Sync does the rest.

It's an extension of their other Missing Sync products that are already out for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. It lets you grab contacts and calendar (great), as well as ringtones and podcasts, both of which were able to be synced before just with the USB disk mode. It costs $40, which is kinda high, but better than having to loop your contacts around into Google every time you want to do a sync. [Mark Space via Boy Genius]

SyncMate Lets You Sync Your Windows Mobile Phone With Your Mac for Free

What Missing Sync did for $39, SyncMate does for free—syncing your contacts, calendars, notes and favorites from your Windows Mobile phone onto your Mac with little to no hassle. Unfortunately for WM users, the default iSync software doesn't support either WM5 or WM6 as well as it should. We haven't tried SyncMate yet ourselves, but if it works nearly as well as Missing Sync—which we have tried—then it'll be worth every penny. [Eltima via Thinkabdul]

Missing Sync V4 Released, Supports Windows Mobile 6

Windows Mobile owners who own Macs will be familiar with Missing Sync, the app that lets you sync your smartphone to OS X's Calendar and iCal (among other things). The latest version is available, and brings support for newer phones and phones running Windows Mobile 6. Other new features are a video plug-in for video importing and call log/SMS log importing to grab the call list/SMS list from your phone onto your computer. If you've got a WM phone and a Mac, you need to get this. [MarkSpace via MacWorld]

Missing Sync For Windows Mobile 5.0 Coming

The Missing Sync is a piece of software for OS X to let you sync your PIM information with your mobile device, like a phone or a PDA, that's not supported natively with OS X. If you have a WM5 device, go grab the Missing Sync 2.5 beta and sync up your Pocket PC.

Bit of caution though. This is still beta, so if anything goes wrong, your contacts/calendars may be wiped out. You may want to back them up first, since your wife would be pretty angry if you forgot your anniversary due to "software error". – Jason Chen
