Mac OSX + Windows Mobile - Help please

gobbo · 9 Jul 2006 at 19:56

I've currently got a Mac Mini (Intel) running OSx 10.4

I'm considering getting a Windows Mobile 2005 based smart phone, and wondering what apps out there allow my to sync up between address book, mail, contacts etc.

I've heard of Missing Sync but nothing else

Missing Sync is a good bit of kit. I used it about a year ago, so I can't comment on the latest version.

Mmkay, i'll probalby get the phone and hope missing sync works well!

Been having a look at this today. $40 seems a bit overpriced. Anyone know of free alternatives?

This is what i've been doing - Use Parallels desktop and pop xp on it. It just passes through the usb so outlook and activesync install just fine. I manage my contacts like that - you just export the Mac address book I suppose if you want to keep it all neat in osx.

Went with Pocketmac in the end, it's a lot cheaper. The Parallels idea is a bit of a non starter, iCal synchronization is important.

pocketmac works for windows mobile 5?

Not yet it's being worked on, should be out in the near future.
