Well that did not take long, just a few days ago we announced that Mark/Space had a Development Log for the Missing Sync for Win XP and Vista. And now they have the Palm Pre Windows XP Pre-Release Version for download, yes, you read that right; only the Windows XP version. But they promise that’s just for now, the Vista version is coming soon.
Mark/Space states that at this time, support for syncing of contacts and calendar events is performed via Wi-Fi – yes, only Wi-Fi, no USB – . And – of course – both the Pre and PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and that network must be connected to the Internet. This pre-release provides “overwrite sync” capability. Each time you sync it overwrites all the calendar events in the “My Computer” profile on your Pre with data from Outlook. For more information on how the Missing Sync for Palm Pre uses profile “Accounts” go here.
This preview release allows you to sync your iTunes music library, playlists, and podcasts with the Pre. Support for Windows Media Player coming soon. The Photo plugin is NOT working yet, and when using the Folder Sync plugin, files stored on network attached storage (NAS) devices will only sync if the user has appropriate file permissions to read/write to that volume.
So remember folks; this is a pre-release of the PC version, so it has bugs and issues. I’m sure Mark/Space will be taking care of them in do time, but if you want to beta test this software head on over to the download page.
