The Missing Sync 5.1.2 Review

missing sync icon

The Missing Sync enables synchronization of calendars, contacts, photos, music, files, and more between Mac OS X and many portable devices including Palm OS, Windows Mobile, PSP, and coming soon, Blackberry. The version reviewed only syncs to Palm OS devices, but syncing to others should be similar.

For Palm users, the Palm desktop application included for Mac OS X looks and feels like something straight out of the mid 1990's and is hardly a suitable choice. Apple's bundled iSync software works, kind of, but doesn't support many devices and can be quite slow. The Missing Sync is really the best option out there for true Mac like synchronization fully integrated with Apple applications like Address Book, iCal, iTunes, iPhoto, and more.

In addition to the tight integration with iLife applications, The Missing Sync also has multiple connection options including USB and bluetooth. If you need synchronization with your Mac and can't afford an iPhone, this is the application for you.
