According to the company, The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile synchronizes notes, calendar and phone book data with Macintosh applications including Address Book, iCal, Entourage 2004, and others. It also synchronizes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other files.

Other features carried over from previous releases, Mark/Space says, are photo and music transfer. The application can transfer iPhoto albums onto the phone for display, or automatically move newly-taken photos from the mobile to the Macintosh. In addition, podcasts or unprotected music can be copied from a user's iTunes library to the phone.

Version 4.0 is said to add an integrated video encoding feature. Using a drag-and-drop interface, the application can transcode Quicktime videos into a format suitable for playback in Windows Media Player Mobile 10, then move them to the phone. Conversely, any videos taken with the device can be moved to the Macintosh automatically.

Also new is the logging feature for calls and SMS messages. During every synchronization, call logs and SMS messages are retrieved from the device to the Macintosh. There data can be analyzed or exported to .CSV format (for use in Excel or a database application). Integration with Apple's Address Book provides additional information on known contacts, such as contact photo and company name.

The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is downloadable for $40.
