Think again: The Missing Sync enables any Windows Mobile handheld to sync with your contacts, calendar, notes, memos, documents, and even your photos and iTunes playlists.

The just-released version 4.0 adds Windows Mobile 6 support to the feature list, along with video encoding (so you can copy videos to your device for on-the-go viewing), video importing (meaning videos recorded on your device can be copied back to your Mac), and address book integration for call-log and SMS data. In short, it’s a must-have product for anyone hoping to bridge the gap between a Mac and a Windows Mobile device. Missing Sync 4.0 costs $39.95 and requires Mac OS 10.4.9 or later and Windows Mobile 2002 or later. [via Gizmodo]

    Another choice to sync Windows Mobile with Mac

    I use Pocket Mac and have been very happy with it. When I first started using it a few years ago, it had better reviews than Missing Sync. I don't know how the two programs compare today, though, since they both have had many upgrades.

    You can find Pocket Mac here -
