Manufacturers Third Party Smartphones Macs

For Mac users running OS X, iSync can synchronize data from Address Book and iCal to selected Motorola, Siemens and Sony Ericsson phones. It can also sync PalmOne Treo and Series 60 smartphones from Nokia, Panasonic, and Siemens.

Sony Ericsson users who would rather sync to Microsoft Entourage can try MobileSync. There are a number of other third party solutions for other phone models, however few of them actually sync data, instead just providing a way to manually move contacts from one device to the other.

Mark/Space provides Missing Sync software to sync Address Book and iCal to Pocket PC, Palm OS and Hiptop smartphones. The sync software integrates into iSync. It also converts documents, transfer files, installs applications and more.

PocketMac provides versions to sync from OS X applications, Microsoft Entourage and Now Contact to Windows Mobile (both Pocket PC and Smartphone) as well as RIM Blackberries.
