Missing Sync works really well for installing .CABs....

On the other hand if you mount the phone as a disk, you get "Apple Double" files and other file system garbage left befind.... I use MacCleanse, which detects these files when the disk is mounted, and removes them...You still end up with a little garbage left for files that are added/removed after the cleansing process.

If you use MacCleanse, you might note that this is feature addedd in the latest update.

The amount of "at a glance" info you get in the sync panel...the amount of items you can sync (though I haven't messed with the itunes and iphoto or documents sync yet) is fairly robust. The interface is quite sexy as well. I think I'm going to like it in the world of Mac. Lol.

I've read the reviews on other products and though I've already purchased this...anybody syncing with a mac via usb or BT with any other software?

What version of windows were you using because if your comparing that MAC to windows xp your probably right, but you were 2 OSs behind for windows. Not much of a comparison. Please update to windows 7 and try again.

MBP 17inch user here. Have been usin mac for a couple years now and will never go back. I use syncmate to backup contacts and such but mostly do backups on my phone with SASHAMI and NScontact backup. I flash roms with a Dell mini 10v I hacintoshed and put windows 7 on another partition.

You sir, are correct. I was using XP because of Vista's early issues. Windows7 does look quite promising and I will actually be purchasing it and running my MBP as a dual boot system. That said, a large part of my switching to a Mac for personal use was the need for Final Cut Pro Studio. I'm an editor by trade (though I use Avid primarily) and have need of an editing solution for my non-profit work. Adobe Premiere CS4 is great as well, but I still prefer FCP (and I prefer Avid over that....just not for 10-25k dollars).

Running 64bit is really the biggest advantage over windows xp.

I have both Macs and pcs. I do all my flashing on my PC, though I have my email, contacts, and calendar on my mac. I use gmail, so I have it set up that my Macbook Pro syncs email, contacts, and calendar with Google's servers constantly, then on my TP2, i have activesync acting as an exchange server with Google. Emails, contacts, and calendar is then exactly within sync with Google, thus my computer. It works great. I don't remember the last time I synced via USB/bluetooth.

This is my solution for a mac user with a TP2.
