San Diego, CA - Information Appliance Associates, creators of industry-leading mobile sync solutions, announces the release of the PocketMac(R) for iPhone, the first and only Macintosh tool that gives iPhone users new bold options for synching.

"We're incredibly excited," said Terence Goggin, CTO of Information Appliance Associates. "The iPhone is great and we want to extend what iPhone users can do. That's where PocketMac for iPhone comes in. Now iPhone users can sync data from three of the major personal information managers: Entourage, Meeting Maker, and Lotus Notes."

This new tool offers powerful sync options for users of Entourage, Meeting Maker and Lotus Notes, such as category selection. Users can sync contacts and calendars from any of these three applications and select only the categories of their data they'd like synched.

Goggin added, "Since the first iPhone came out, customers have not been able to properly sync data if they wanted to use anything but iCal or Address Book. With PocketMac for iPhone, that all changes. We wanted to give our users options for the three most popular personal information managers that are currently not being serviced. And it's all in one simple package."

Additionally, PocketMac for iPhone acts as a backup agent, ensuring that every time a user syncs their iPhone to iTunes, PocketMac for iPhone backups both their call log and all of their SMS text messages. Backup can occur on the user's local Mac or their Mobile Me server.

Goggin continued, "Text messages and call logs are a record of your daily life. If something happens to your iPhone, all of that would normally be lost. Therefore, it was crucial that this application provided comprehensive backup of this data. It's your life and we wanted to make sure it was never lost. "

PocketMac for iPhone includes a unique BackupViewer application that allows the user to review the call logs and text messages or export them to a text file. That comes in handy when a business user needs to report billable phone and texting time. Also, if an iPhone user is a regular 411 user, she can have the information texted to her iPhone; with the BackupViewer, the user can now add the contact data in those texts to their Address Book with one click.

"We can't wait for iPhone users to try out this robust new product," Goggin concluded. "They'll be able to sync all their contacts and calendars and make sure they have a complete backup of all their data."

Pricing and Availability:
PocketMac for iPhone works on 10.5.x (Leopard) and retails for $29.95 (USD). PocketMac for iPhone supports all models of iPhone.
