These four little mice look perfect, aren’t they? :)

As you’ve already guessed, SyncMate was reviewed by Macworld and got 4 mice rating. John Rizzo has kindly agreed to test SyncMate and below you may find some quotes from his review.

After the installation, he tried Contact and Calendar sync. “A nice touch is the ability to delete all contacts, events, or to-dos that reside the device or another computer that your Mac is connected. This is an easy way to clear out old data before syncing for the first time”, says John.

After the testing Free basic features, John tested Expert Edition features.”I looked at the $40 SyncMate Expert 2.4, which is chock full of data types and handy features, many of them unique.

For example, SyncMate Expert is the only utility that will sync Windows Mobile e-mail with the Mac Mail application (Entourage e-mail isn’t supported). It’s a one-way sync, where you select mailboxes to sync over to the phone. The mailboxes appear in a Mac OS X Mail folder in the phone’s Mail application, where you can read, reply to, and forward them. To prevent floods of e-mail from filling your Windows Mobile’s memory, you can limit the sync to one or more weeks of e-mail.

While the free version of SyncMate lets you view SMS message on your Mac, the Expert edition lets you send messages from your Mac, where you have a full-sized keyboard. Just type the message in SyncMate and sync with the device. Another useful feature is the ability to copy the call log to the Mac. SyncMate Expert provides a search field for calls history, as well as the ability to view incoming, outgoing, or missed calls.”

“If that isn’t enough,” John said, “SyncMate Expert also syncs music, photos, and movies with iTunes and iPhoto or to a folder. There’s also syncing of Safari and Firefox bookmarks, Mail notes, and even stickies. You can also install Windows Mobile applications from the Mac. Just drag a CAB file to the Application List, which displays the applications installed on the Windows Mobile device. Perform a sync to install the software.”

So, what does Macworld advise to its readers?

I can say for sure, we’ll do our best in order to add one more mouse into this rating and to be named #1 Sync Software for Mac OS X. All of you, dear readers, can help us improving SyncMate – just leave your comments, ideas, suggestions or complaints (if any :). Thanks!

“Our Experience of SyncMate Free is that it’s a reliable application that does what is designed to do with a minimum of fuss.”

I can say for sure, that to be reviewed in Macworld (or any other well-known and authoritative magazine) is a great honor for any software company. We are not an exception and we are extremely proud to share SyncMate review posted recently in Australian Macworld with you.

The author, Anthony Caruana, says: “we ran the installer with no problems. … One feature that stood out was the ability to natively synchronize with Google’s online address book and calendar services. SyncMate Free promises much of what The Missing Sync offers but at no cost”.

“Device support is broad” , says Anthony, “for users that need more than iCal and Address Book syncing, the Expert version adds a stack of extra options including iPhoto, iTunes, Notes, Call History, Mail and several other options”.

More than that, SyncMate was named “easy to use and reliable” and, as I said before, got 4.5 mice!

” The paid upgrade to the Expert version looks to be good value and offers all the sync options we can think of.”

If you’re an editor of any software related magazine or running software related website, you’re more than welcome to review our products. Just contact me for getting review copies of our software. And thanks Anthony Caruana for testing our software and good words about SyncMate! :)

Waiting for your comments!

Hi Everyone! Today we’d like to introduce absolutely new refreshed version of Folx – your 2-in-1 download manager for Mac.

The main transformation is that Folx is now available in two editions – free and PRO.

Free Edition of Folx lets you download any files via HTTP, HTTPS and FTP at the highest speed possible. Folx supports auto-resuming, scheduling, smart folder organization and much more. What we’ve added to the free version of Folx is the ability to download from torrent networks!

Folx PRO provides you with even more control over the torrent downloads. With PRO version you can search for any content available at torrent trackers: files, video, music – just anything – directly from the Folx interface!

Whenever you need to work with any Internet applications, just lower the download speed in Folx, and you won’t even notice it still processes your downloads. In Folx PRO this process is automated, so no need to tune anything manually.

And of course, all features of Folx free version are available in Folx PRO :)

As Folx is still in Beta, all of you, dear readers, can get registration license for Folx PRO absolutely for free.

Just send us an e-mail with “Folx PRO free registration license” in subject line to support@eltima.com and get registration info in return. Please, note that this key will be valid until the final release of Folx is uploaded to our websites.

Below you can find some positive comments about SyncMate:

“Bookmarks… it is so very painful to have to retype out my web addresses using my SPV M3100’s “touchscreen” so the ability to sync bookmarks would save me a lot of time. I’m sure there’s an app to do it but I don’t want 10 different applications when SyncMate does it all in one!”

- Sam G

The feature I like the most is folder synchronization. …Managing files on the phone is the only really important feature the iPhone lacks. However, everybody knows how complicated Windows Mobile can turn to be. …I always dreamt of the day when my Mac stopped harasing my WM phone and they became friends. Such day has come…  ;)”

- Mike

“…I’m very interested in some of smaller features in Syncmate Expert, notably: bookmarks, folder and notes synchronization, SMS manager and reader, Device info, actions log and Call History. Those small features would enable me to track my usage better, remove unnecessary steps that I currently repeat on a daily basis, and allow me to access data that I would otherwise have no way of touching without a PC. …Nice work!”

- James Lee

“…That being said, SyncMate provides the bridge fo the gap between the two turfs. It’s been quite a while since I was able to find a program that would do this, and to add to it ToDo list & iCal capabilities means that I no longer need to use my PC desktop just to be able to sync all this information via MobileMe. Now I can be completely Mac, and I LOVE IT.”

- Zachary Price

“… its good to know that even though we don’t have an iphone, some developers still care about us W-Mobile/Mac users, cause its really frustrating having this No-Sync-problem. “managing SMS right from Mac computer. Sending, receiving, creating and deleting SMS when working at Mac became possible with SyncMate Expert Edition” … that’s just plain and simply awesome! “
