Mark/Space's The Missing Sync
My laptop is an Apple MacBook; my cell phone is an HTC model (similar to AT&T's Tilt) that runs Windows Mobile 6. In theory, that's a problem, since Microsoft's synchronization software is for Windows only. But Macs actually work with Windows Mobile better than Windows Vista machines do, thanks to Mark/Space's The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. Of course, I use this $40 utility to shuttle calendar and contact information between Pocket Outlook and OS X's iCal and Address Book apps. I'm most smitten, though, with The Missing Sync's iTunes integration, which makes getting playlists of podcasts and unprotected music onto a Windows Mobile device as painless as it is with an iPod. (See also our review of The Missing Sync for BlackBerry.)
