Why?
Because many software companies feel they can ignore the Mac market. They have for years and they'll keep right on doing it.
They love to tell themselves that the Mac is only some small percentage of the market but what they fail to realize is that even 1% of the market is still tens of millions of users. And, these tens of millions of users are super-passionate about their computers.
What better audience could developers of new hardware and software ask for?
Yet, no Windows Mobile device will work with a Mac out-of-the-box.
Think about it - the things that Windows Mobile Devices are great at, namely:
- Graphics
- Movies
- Music/Mp3s
- Flash content
- Games
- Web browsing
- Wireless networking
are the very same tasks and activities that people love to use their Macs for!
So, why shouldn't the two work together? We couldn't figure it out either.
This, then, is the story of one more software company that didn't ignore the Mac community and, in fact, became a Mac software company. (A true "Switch" story, indeed.)
We had been developing custom software for the Windows Mobile Device for quite a while. And, when we saw the Windows Mobile Devices that were to be released about a year ago, they excited us just as they excite you now. We were passionate about them, and we saw that other Windows Mobile Device users were passionate about their devices, too.
We realized, though, that their inability to work with Macs was a big problem and set to work trying to figure out if something could be done.
About halfway through our research, one of our engineers told us a friend had asked if there was any way he could sync his Windows Mobile Device with a Mac.
At that moment, we knew we were on to something.
Now you can synchronize your contacts, calendar, tasks, email and more between the Windows Mobile Device and Entourage/ iCal/ Address Book...
Synchronize...
- Contacts
- Calendar
- Tasks
- Word/Excel Docs
- iTunes/MP3s
- iPhoto
With Macintosh software such as...
- Microsoft Entourage
- iCal Calendar/Tasks
- Address Book Contacts
- Now Contact (requires Now Contact)
- Daylite
- Microsoft Word/Excel
