The Missing Sync for Palm OS
Fri Dec 3, 2004 - 9:56 PM EST - By James Hromadka
Conclusion

Missing Sync should be at the top of any Mac user's To Buy list. It handles the basics of conduit synchronization and then makes it easier to use. Anyone that uses the expansion slot of the Treo will appreciate being able to mount the expansion card to the Mac desktop and the iTunes and iPhoto integration. The documentation and Help Assistants are stellar and make Missing Sync everything that is expected of a Mac application.

An update is needed to improve how the program handles a user installing the Palm Desktop, but the company regularly updates the software, and there really should be a product demo available, but the look and feel of Missing Sync has all the polish and usability enhancements that Mac users have come to expect (and demand). This is the sync software that Steve Jobs would use.
