Broad connectivity and device support
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile supports nearly all smartphones and Pocket PCs made over the last several years, including the very latest devices running Windows Mobile 5 (WM5). If you have an older iPAQ or the new Motorola Q, you’ll be able to get the most out of these devices with The Missing Sync. You can sync your device with multiple computers and all device-side connections are available: USB, Bluetooth, and when supported by the device, Wi-Fi (WM5 devices do not support Wi-Fi sync). View the complete list of supported devices.
Keep in touch
Communication is one of the most important aspects of people’s lives today, whether for business or keeping in touch with friends and family. The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile can keep all of your important details in sync between Apple’s Address Book or Microsoft Entourage 2004 and your Windows Mobile device. Phone numbers, email & IM addresses, postal addresses, birthdays, contact groups/categories and Address Book’s contact notes all sync. With The Missing Sync, you will always have the most up-to-date information in your hand and at your desk.
Manage your time more effectively
Whether you’re a college student or Fortune 500 executive, chances are you’re busier than ever before. It’s almost as if there’s less time in a day. But keeping on top of where you’re supposed to be or with whom you’re supposed to meet doesn’t need to be a full time job. The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile makes sure that all your events and tasks from iCal or Entourage are mirrored on your smartphone or Pocket PC and vice versa. If you set a calendar reminder on the Mac, your Windows Mobile device will notify you. Check off tasks as you complete them throughout the day, and those changes sync when you get back to your desk.
Use your favorite desktop apps
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile also includes specific support for Microsoft Entourage 2004 and is able to sync Entourage contacts, tasks and calendar events to Windows Mobile devices. Additionally, the Missing Sync uses Apple’s Sync Services technology, allowing information from other Sync Services-savvy applications, such as Chronos SOHO Organizer and Market Circle Daylite, to sync between your Mac and your device. As more applications use this technology, The Missing Sync can pass their data on to your Windows Mobile device, increasing its flexibility and usefulness.
Install Windows Mobile software from your Mac
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile includes a smart install feature that can install applications and other types of files to the correct location on your device. Many software providers, including those represented in the Mark/Space Online Store, offer their handheld applications in Windows’ cabinet file format (.CAB), which The Missing Sync will recognize and install properly to your device. This install feature also works well for other file types, like music, photos, etc. Simply drag them to The Missing Sync, and it puts them in the right place on your device. You can even customize where you want files to install based on their file type.
Mount your device on the Mac desktop
Sometimes, it’s most convenient to open a Pocket Word or Word Mobile document on your Mac right from your device’s My Documents folder. The Missing Sync lets you do just that with its mounting feature. Your Windows Mobile device’s internal and card memory will be mounted together, as a single volume on your Mac’s desktop. Once mounted, you can drag files to and from any folder on your device, and you can even open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files directly from the device. This flexibility is a boon for those who use the built-in productivity apps on their device, as it truly simplifies workflow.
The little things matter
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is a Universal application, so it runs natively on Intel and PowerPC Macs, providing the best performance possible on your Mac. A battery meter shows your device’s charge level when connected. The Missing Sync includes plugins for iPhoto and iTunes, allowing you to export photos and drag music and podcasts to your Windows Mobile device. It checks for software updates automatically and can download them directly. A plugin architecture supports plugins for third-party developers, opening up possibilities for syncing additional types of information. We’ve made The Missing Sync into a complete platform for Windows Mobile device support on the Mac.
