iSync is out

Yesterday, Apple released the beta of iSync. For those of you not familiar with what Apple's been up to lately, this is their application for syncing address books and calendars. It is specificly designed to work with their address book and iCal. So far it provides support for syncing multiple macs, to cell phones (over bluetooth!), and Palms.

I downloaded it yesterday and promptly syncronized it to my phone, and it worked flawlessly. Gotta love it. Unfortunately, as with all beta software, there are little issues here and there. Luckily Apple provides a link to their knowledge base section on it. Overall it is pretty decent. The biggest complaint being that syncing between two computers requires a .mac account. I'm hoping that for the full release there is some kind of Rendezvous based syncing. Since it seems like the perfect place to use that technology.
