SyncMate Makes Mac and WinMo Play Nice… For Free


If I won the lottery and got a new computer tomorrow, it would be a Mac. If I got a new phone tomorrow, considering that I’ve got a scary good plan with Sprint, it would be the Touch Diamond. That would be both awesome and a problem — no ActiveSync for Mac throws a wrench into the whole syncing thing.

Most people in the Mac/WM boat shell out for The Missing Sync, but if you can tolerate a  little less power, JAMM just heard about a new, free alternative. SyncMate packs iCal and Contacts synchronization, an SMS reader, and a device info plugin. The site is a little vague on what exactly you can and can’t do with the free edition — document syncing? installing applications? — because they want you to upgrade to SyncMate Expert for the same $40 pricetag as The Missing Sync.

Sadly, I didn’t win the lottery, so I don’t have a Mac that I can test SyncMate on. Actually, no one at JAMM at the moment runs Mac/WM. Decent free Mac/WM sync apps aren’t exactly thick on the ground, so please help out the community and leave a comment if you try this app!
