Tiger and PDAs: Not Such a Rosy Relationship
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 10:00 AM
"The Missing Sync for Pocket PC was the first Apple-approved, third-party plugin designed to work with iSync. With Tiger, iSync has changed significantly so that 10.2.x and 10.3.x iSync plugins no longer function. As a result, the current release of The Missing Sync for Pocket PC is not compatible with Tiger."
Thinking of making the jump over to Tiger? Think again. According to Mark/Space (the folk behind 'The Missing Sync'), significant changes to the iSync technology have rendered 'The Missing Sync' unusable in Tiger. However, all is not lost. You can choose not to upgrade to Tiger if you want to retain the Mac-PDA synchronising functionality, or you can wait until the end of June when 'The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile' will be released (we also posted on this earlier in the year). Mark/Space guarantees that this version will be compatible with Tiger. The price? $19.95 for all existing customers, although those who purchased 'The Missing Sync' from April 1, 2005 will be eligible for a free upgrade as soon as it is released.
