Missing Sync for BlackBerry 2.0 Adds Bluetooth and Proximity Sync

Mark/Space has introduced a new of The Missing Sync for BlackBerry, which adds Bluetooth synchronizing of personal information and files between the smartphone and a desktop running Mac OS X. 

This version is also the debut of Proximity Sync, a new way to automatically and wirelessly synchronize contacts, calendars, music, photos, notes, and more. 

Ditch the Cables

Bluetooth support allows BlackBerry users to synchronize their data without having to connect cables. Proximity Sync  takes this a step farther. It uses the same Bluetooth capabilities to give users the option to automatically sync whenever the Mac and BlackBerry are near one another.

"When the BlackBerry and Mac are within range, sync happens, even while you're using your phone or working on your computer," said Brian Hall, CEO of Mark/Space.

For example, a photo taken on the BlackBerry will automatically sync to iPhoto on the Mac, and a new contact entered on the BlackBerry will automatically sync to Address Book the next time the two devices are near one another.

Other New Features

The Missing Sync for BlackBerry 2.0 also offers other new features, including playlist support for iTunes, sync for other media files, and video transfer to and from the BlackBerry.

Plus, users can archive text messages and call histories to their Mac where they can do more with them, like using the call log to track time for billing purposes and the SMS log to transfer information like phone numbers into Address Book.

Pricing and Availability

The Missing Sync for BlackBerry 2.0 is available now as an electronic download from the Mark/Space Online Store for $39.95. A CD version will be available soon for $49.95.

Upgrade pricing is also available for those who purchased version 1.0.
