Sync your Windows Mobile phone to Mac- free
I test a lot of Windows Mobile phones and a good way to sync them with my Mac would be welcome. There are some commercial applications that will do this but a free solution would be pretty cool. Enter SyncMate from Eltima that will sync a long list of data types between the Mac and the Windows Mobile phone. The free version is pretty functional but a commercial "expert" edition will set you back $39.95 but adds some unique sync capabilities, including iTunes library syncing. Sure you won’t be playing your DRM-protected iTunes music on Windows Mobile but the rest will do.
I haven’t used SyncMate myself but will likely give it a try due to all the various information it syncs between the two platforms, including contacts, calendar (Entourage and Google supported) and SMS messages. The paid version adds quite a bit of functionality I haven’t seen in other sync solutions in addition to the iTunes syncing. Syncing in both versions can be done through a USB connection or via WiFi, something Microsoft saw fit to remove in Windows Mobile 6. If you try SyncMate share your thoughts with everyone here.
Syncmate is the best it works very well with the win mob 5 I have.
Eh. I’ve tried both the free version of this and Missing Sync, and it’s a close comparison, with a few key differences. Most of the stuff I really want to sync (notes, to-do, bookmarks) requires the $39 upgrade. And guess how much the competing Missing Sync costs? $39. Also Missing Sync lets you sync over bluetooth, which is great. They are both a little non-OSXish in their installation, but they work fine here.
