Mark/Space Announces The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile Now with Support for Entourage and Windows Mobile Smartphones
LOS GATOS, Calif.- April 5, 2005 - Mark/Space, Inc. today announced The
Missing Sync™ for Windows Mobile, a substantial update to The Missing
Sync for Pocket PC, synchronization software that connects Pocket PCs and
Windows Mobile Smartphones to computers running Mac OS X.
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile offers several desirable features over
its predecessor, including contacts and calendar synchronization with
Microsoft Entourage 2004 and support for Windows Mobile Smartphone devices,
such as the Audiovox SMT5600/Orange SPV C500, i-MateSP3i and Motorola
MPx220.
"We have our customers to thank for this release," stated Brian Hall,
company president and CEO. "The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile was designed
with the most asked-for features and support for the latest smartphone
devices, then made more functional with a striking new interface that will
be appreciated by existing and new users alike."
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile adds Microsoft Entourage synchronization
alongside its support for Mac OS X's Address Book and iCal applications.
Other new features include SyncMinder™ to tell the user when it's time to
sync, at-a-glance status that shows useful information about a connected
device, handheld clock synchronization and user-created profiles that allow
specific sync features to be turned on or off. Earlier favorites are of
course still present: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, iPhoto and iTunes
integration and the ability to mount the Windows Mobile device like a disk
on the Mac OS X Desktop.
In addition to new features, The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile has at its
core a new plugin architecture that gives third-party developers the ability
to create sync plugins for their own applications. "Now, Mac developers can
easily add support for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone devices to
their Mac applications," said Ken Freeman, Mark/Space's director of product
management. "To help increase the use of Windows Mobile devices in the Mac
market, we're working with developers to grow the number of Mac-friendly
applications that can synchronize information with these devices."
Mark/Space has also improved the method by which data is synchronized to the
handheld device. The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile now employs Microsoft's
Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) to manipulate information on the handheld
in the same way that Windows ActiveSync does. Advantages to using this
method are increased sync performance and the ability to sync a Windows
Mobile device between a Windows PC and a Mac.
PRICING, UPGRADES AND AVAILABILITY
The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is expected to be available for download
from the Mark/Space Online Store before the end of June. The electronic
download will be priced at $39.95; retail packaged CD's will be available
this summer for $49.95.
Free upgrades will be made available to all customers who purchased The
Missing Sync for Pocket PC on or after April 1, 2005, while owners of any
previous Missing Sync product, regardless of platform, will be able to take
advantage of a special 50%-off upgrade price when the software ships.
