OnSync is not iSync

onsync

Yet I’m not quite sure I could tell you why. Outside of the obvious “On” replacing the “i” in the title, they both seem to do the same thing. Sync contacts from Apple’s Address Book to your mobile phone and vice versa via cables or bluetooth. I’m all for a better sync option, so if anyone can figure out what makes this different, or better, I’d love to hear what you dig up.

Well, iSync is a major program, it does multiplatform, multipoint, multidata sync, but, as any other program, it is not perfect. It still has some problems with some mobile phones. I, personally felt frustrated when I found out that my new and very "appleish" Motorola V3 Razr was only sychronizable via cable, and not bluetooth (an operation that was quick, and seamless with my previous phone, a Sony Ericsson Z600), so I jump in my Powebook and surf the web to find OnSync a very simple, quite unstable and limited to contacts program, with a hard to understand configuration if you want to work motorola on BT (And no, I'm not retarded, I've been on the computer edge of knowledge since 1980, and have seven years of postgraduate studies, so I think the "screen-chair-keyboard interface" is not an issue here). My advice: If it is the ONLY way you can get you phone synched, buy it and get your phone happy. If you have any means of using iSync over OnSync, do so..... If you need anything beyond sending your contacts to the phone, dont try OnSync, not worth the time......

Key thing is for a large number of users Isync doesn't work. P900, Nokia 7610 etc etc, it just doesn't cut it. Onsync however works for all the phones it says it does.
