FoneLink allows easy integration of Cell phones in Mac OS X

Berlin, May 29th, 2007 -- Up to now, using a cell phone with Mac OS X has one major disadvantage. It is close to impossible to manage the cell phone's data from your operating system of choice. The Berlin-based software developer nova media today unveiled a new software called "FoneLink" to change this lack of Mac OS software support for Cell phones.

FoneLink is a cell phone suite that allows to browse through the files of a cell phone, to transfer and convert music, fotos and videos as well as to copy contacts, events and tasks, edit notes and bookmarks. A built-in ringtone editor allows to create individual ringtones from any compatible music file. Finally FoneLink manages to backup the cell phone's data and to restore single files or a comprehensive backup.

"FoneLink features an assisstant to connect Cell phones via bluetooth and USB in a snap." states Jan Fuellemann, PR spokesperson at nova media. "This was one of the few areas Windows was still ahead of Mac OS X, but now we are closing the gap!"

The nifty cell phone suite for Mac OS X consists of 4 main modules:

The "Mobile Finder" within FoneLink allows to browse the files on the cell phone and to drag and drop files from and to the phone. Mobile Finder adds Smart Folders to have media files saved in the corresponding place in the cell phone, even on a mobile phone´s flashcard.

The "Organizer" makes its easy to look at contacts, events and tasks of a cell phone and exchange them with the Mac's Address Book and iCal applications. Bookmarks and notes on the phone can be edited and SMS messages can be saved to the Macintosh.

The "Media Center" lets access media data from iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and other programs. A smart conversion tool rotates and resizes images and converts songs automatically to ensure they can be used on the phone.

A ringtone editor allows the creation of individual ringtones from any compatible music file, featuring fade-in and fade out.

Last but not least, FoneLink has the ability to create a comprehensive backup of a cell phone's data in the background. If the cell phone or its data gets lost, it is easy to restore single data files using drag and drop or to restore a comprehensive backup using the restore command of Time Tunnel.

FoneLink For Mac OS X 10.4.9 and higher or 10.5.2 as well as a compatible cell phone.

The Software and the demoversion are available for download today at nova media´s website http://www.novamedia.de.
