An application called The Missing Sync has been offered on several other mobile platforms before and will soon be coming to Android devices. The public preview version of the app is expected next week. The official launch version 1.0 is hoped to hit the market in November.

What the app does is allow Android user’s access to a more robust sync solution than what is offered with the device as it is. The app can synchronize music, contacts, photos, video, files and more. It will allow sync with Outlook, Entourage, Mac address book, iTunes and more.

After the initial launch the developer expects to launch free updates that will add calendar, task, and note synchronization as well. This is the app that many Pre users turned to when Apple killed the ability to synchronize the Pre with iTunes.

The nickname for TMS is "The Missing Stink". Their product is terrible. And I'm sure it'll happily trash your stores on Android just like it does for Windows Mobile, and Blackberry.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT.

I realize the referenced program does more than this, but if you just want to synchronize anything on your SDcard, there's a free program called SyncBack that works wonders for me. It allows you to backup and sync folders, delete files in one folder that no longer exist in another, things like that. I use it for my MP3s and all the albumart generated by the music player, and to keep current the various backup files created by Nandroid, switchROM, etc. Just FWIW.

Do not buy The Missing Sync - it will ruin your digital life - I wasted a year, losing address books (on WM5), re-installing, un-installing, re-inputting data, DO NOT DO IT. They are a terrible company.
