Missing Sync 2.0 for BB
Mark/Space has launched version 2.0 of The Missing Sync for BlackBerry, adding wireless sync over Bluetooth, automated syncing by proximity and other improvements. The automated sync function, called Proximity Sync, launches whenever the BlackBerry comes within range of a Mac's Bluetooth receiver. The v2.0 release has also been given improved iTunes playlist support, two-way video transfer, and the ability to archive text messages and call histories on a Mac.
The app is used to sync contacts and calendars with iCal, Address Book and Entourage, and can additionally sync videos, iPhoto albums and iTunes content including album art, podcasts and audiobooks. Notes and memos can be carried over if associated with Entourage or Mark/Space Notebook. Missing Sync requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.6, as well as iPhoto 5.0 and iTunes 6.0. Entourage compatibility begins at 2004.
The upgraded app is now available in a base version for $40, with a family pack costing $70 and a business edition $90.

Missing Sync 2.0
One word of warning many users are reporting problems with Missing Sync 2.0 as there is a problem on Blackberry Bold, Curve and Storm with 'USB listeners' where the device software won't start and you loose USB sync as well as not being able to use the new Bluetooth sync. Lots of posts on Mark Space website.
