Apple and Microsoft out of sync

C|Net | at | by Mike

Apple Computer on Thursday released the final version of its iSync synchronization software, in what could be seen as an attempt to trump new software coming next week from Microsoft. In late September, Apple released a beta version of iSync, which lets people synchronize calendar and contact data with Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, Palm PDAs and the Apple iPod digital music player. In December, sources close to the Cupertino, Calif.-based company had said that iSync would not ship in time for next week's Macworld trade show in San Francisco.
