Those of you who use Macs and have or are going to purchase a Windows Mobile PDA or phone will be happy to hear that Mark/Space, makers of Mising Sync have an alpha build available for download and plan on releasing the final version in Q3 of this year. This is alpha software which means there will be bugs, so back up your data before syncing.

In addition to support for WM6 devices, when version 4.0 of The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile ships in the third quarter, it will also include several new features similar to those just released in version 6.0 of the Palm OS edition, as outlined below.

Support for new and upgraded devices running WM6
Video importing to iPhoto or specified folders on the Mac
Video encoding for mobile playback in Windows Media Player 10
View/search Treo SMS message history on the Mac
Device call logs and SMS messages are synced to the Mac
New Mac Call Log and SMS Log apps sort, search, export and more
Call Log and SMS Log apps integrate with Address Book

Version 4.0 will be priced at $39.95 for download, once its available. Version 3.0 purchases made on or after June 1, 2007 will qualify for a free upgrade, otherwise upgrades and crossgrades from eligible Missing Sync products will cost only $24.95.
