Product Description:

Sync Buddy is a backup install and photo management tool for Mac OS X users with Palm OS handhelds. Providing worry-free backups, installs and pictures management, Sync Buddy lets you reclaim control of your handheld. It complements the standard synchronization by giving you direct access to your handheld's contents.


Sync Buddy is not a replacement for the desktop software. Basic synchronization (address book, memo, etc) is still done through your preferred desktop software. You can (and should) still use Palm Desktop.


Features highlight:


Flat and hierarchical file listings:
Sync Buddy displays your handheld's files in either a flat form (all files together) or a hierarchical directory that encloses each application and its data file(s) in a separate folder. Backup files can be stored on your computer using the same arrangement, so it's always easy to find what you need. You can also display and backup files in a flat manner, according to your taste and needs.


Worry-free backups:
Use the Full Backup command to back up all of your Palm handheld's contents, including third-party files and databases for the built-in applications, or use the Incremental Backup command to back up only what's changed.


Instant transfers:
Just drop Palm databases and applications in the handheld window to install them without running HotSync. To install files at specific locations on removable media, just drop them at the right location like you would in the Finder. Drag files to your computer to directly retrieve them from your handheld.


Easy pictures management:
Display the pictures your handheld contains with a simple click. Use drag-and-drop to copy pictures to iPhoto, to your computer or to any other application. Install pictures in a snap, and delete the pictures you don't need anymore.


USB, Bluetooth, WiFi/Network support:
Sync Buddy can connect with handhelds over USB and Bluetooth, but also accepts connection coming from the network. This allows you to use WiFi to connect your handheld to Sync Buddy, but also to connect handhelds remotely through the network by using Network HotSync.


Removable media support:
Drag-and-drop files to and from expansion cards (SD/MMC cards, Memory Sticks, etc). The install and backup experience on expansion cards is better than ever with Sync Buddy!

What's new in this version:

Built as a Universal Binary for both PowerPC and Intel Macs, it offers faster backups and installs, improved reliability and connectivity with most recent Palm OS handhelds.

Sync Buddy ReviewFinally backup my GPS - Version: 2.0.2, 10/26/2005 04:20PM PST

Now I am able to backup my Garmin iQue 3600 PDA/GPS device. Even backs up the data card with the map IMG file. This means VPC can now be used to create the maps (would never sync using VPC) and Sync Buddy used for actually installing them.

Sync Buddy Troubleshooting ReportI haven't able to sync my palm since... - Version: 2.0.2, 4/20/2005 11:34AM PST

mannyrules_dotmac
my hotsync manager died. No luck installing Palm Desktop due to the permissions goof, and the permission fixer is just an empty applescript. Anyone know if Sync Buddy comes with its own hotsync manager—or where I can get an installable version of palm desktop? Don't much feel like paying for Missing Sync seeing as Palm should have a duty to create and support software that actually works.
