Mark/Space announces Missing Sync 5.0 for Palm OS

By David Chartier

Mark/Space today announced the availability of Missing Sync 5.0 for the Palm OS. I've already downloaded and installed the new version and let me tell you: this is a huge upgrade. Big new features include:

  • syncing categories from Address Book and iCal calendars/tasks with Palm categories
  • support for multiple addresses and other Palm database fields
  • contact photo syncing
  •  folder synchronization and the syncing of iPhoto albums and iTunes playlists right from the Missing Sync interface.

That's right: you no longer have to mount your Palm in iTunes or iPhoto and export or drag and drop images – you can chose your playlists and albums right from within Missing Sync and chose to down-size photos, amongst other features. My Address Book and iCal categories synced flawlessly, and the first time you sync with the new version a Setup Assistant kicks in to guide you through setting up all these new options, making sure the initial sync of all this new stuff goes smoothly.

I hate to sound like Mark/Space bought me out (they didn't), but I highly recommend upgrading to Missing Sync 5.0 as I think this is the first version that really makes the experience of using a Palm with a Mac the way it should be. Missing Sync costs $39.95, while an upgrade price from older versions is $24.95. If you purchased Missing Sync for Palm OS after Oct. 1st 2005, upgrading to the new 5.0 version is free. Check out their upgrade page for more information.
