Mark/Space Ships the Missing Sync for Palm OS v4

Market Wire, July, 2004

Mark/Space, Inc. today began shipping version 4.0 of The Missing Sync™ for Palm OS, their highly-anticipated successor to PalmSource's HotSync Manager for Mac OS X, with support for PDAs and smartphones from companies including AlphaSmart, Garmin, palmOne, Samsung, Sony and Tapwave.

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v4 goes far beyond providing the basic functionality of HotSync Manager -- the software component that allows data to be exchanged between a Palm OS device and a Mac -- by introducing a host of new capabilities that Mac users have been asking for, such as network sync over Wi-Fi/AirPort, SyncMinder™, which reminds the user when it's time to synchronize, and wireless internet connection sharing over Bluetooth.

Other new features include Conduit Profiles that allow the user to easily turn on and off groups of conduits, drag-and-drop install targets that send files directly to the internal memory or expansion card and a standalone MemoPad application that allows Address Book and iCal users to synchronize handheld memos. Longtime Missing Sync favorites, such as desktop mounting and iPhoto/iTunes integration, are also included.

"PalmSource has announced that they will not support Mac users with their next-generation OS," stated Brian Hall, Mark/Space's CEO. "Supporting Mac users is our number one priority, and we're happy to deliver on our promise of a modern synchronization solution. The Missing Sync for Palm OS now provides Mac users with a level of functionality above and beyond that of even HotSync Manager for Windows."

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v4 supports existing Palm conduits for the Mac, including Apple's freely available iSync Palm Conduit and Microsoft's Entourage Conduit, ensuring an easy transition for users who switch from HotSync Manager. A list of supported conduits is available at www.markspace.com/palmos/.
