Mark/Space today started shipping their fourth generation replacement for PalmSource's Mac OS X Hotsync.
"The Missing Sync for Palm OS v4 goes far beyond providing the basic functionality of HotSync Managerthe software component that allows data to be exchanged between a Palm OS device and a Macby 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 its 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." (press release)
