Sync your Pocket PC to your Mac
Even though they’re not the huge sellers like the BlackBerry or iPhone, there are still fifty million Windows mobile devices in use around the world. It’s obvious that they’re great devices.
But with all of the smart phones on the market, why would Mac users desire a Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Smartphone, or Pocket PC Phone?
Because Macintosh users are passionate about their tech devices and they realize that both Macintosh and Windows do a great job of crafting the latest cutting edge devices and software. But the main drawback in using a Windows Mobile Pocket PC, or Smartphone is that none of the Windows Mobile devices will sync with a Mac without some tinkering, which frankly, can be a real hassle.
But now there’s good news: someone’s come up with a solution. It’s called PocketMac for Windows Mobile 5 & 6. Windows Mobile 5 & 6 allows you to sync contacts, calendar, tasks, email, and more with the Windows Mobile 5 & 6 and your Mac functions like Entourage, iCal and Address Book. It also lets you install 3rd party software and themes from your Mac to your Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Smartphone.
You can sync your Contacts, Calendar and Tasks. You can also sync your Macintosh Word and Excel docs, your iPhotos, Daylite, Now Contact and your iTunes and MP3 player.
PocketMac is a wonderful outfit which is run by two Mac devotee brothers, Tim and Terence Goggin (one does the design and engineering, the other handles marketing). They’ve been designing and engineering custom software that enlarges Macintosh user’s options for close to ten years. When they saw the new Windows Mobile devices that came out about a year ago, they recognized their quality and wanted to make easy synching options for Mac users. After all, many of the applications that Windows mobile devices are good at, like graphics, music, movies, flash content, wireless networking, games, and web browsing – are the same things that Mac is number one at.
The requirements for the PocketMac for Windows Mobile 5 & 6 synching are: 10.4 (Tiger), or more, 14MB free disc space on your Mac, one available USB port, Windows Mobile 5/6 device, Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 6 – 6.1 and Macintosh Universal application.
Mac users celebrate: you’ve got easy two-way synching between Macintosh and your Windows Mobile device. This is good news for users of both devices, as seamless, user friendly synching has been a problem for Mac users for many Windows devices for too long. Now you can have it all – it’s easy.
