Nova Media have released FoneSync for Android, a utility to allow Mac owners to sync AddressBook contacts, iCal calendars, iTunes playlists and iPhoto albums to smartphones or tablets running Android. The difference between FoneSync and other methods is that the software sets up an entirely local connection, keeping data private and avoiding any additional fees.
The program works with devices from Google Nexus, Motorola, Samsung and Sony Ericsson that run Android 2.2 or higher, with HTC support coming soon (the Mac must be running 10.6 or higher). When the app is purchased, either from the Android Market or Germany’s AndroidPIT, the download includes the Mac version of the software, which is then installed from the Android device to the Mac. The Mac software closely emulates the iTunes syncing experience wherever possible.
The download, which costs around $14 US, is available now. Links to the different manufacturer versions can be found here.
