Earlier only iPhones were thought to have the heritage to sync with Mac- but now with Android, one can easily sync with Mac. Various areas where Android can sync with Mac is:
*iCal
*Address Book
*iTunes,etc.
What does this mean?
You can grab all your songs, pictures, album art, podcasts, calendar dates, address book, and more into your Android. Cool, right?
Earlier, there was an intense dependancy on 'MobileME' which did the jobs. Now it's no longer needed. Throw it with junk- becvause now your iCal is synced with Android. Add any new information to iCall and wait for it to be synced with your Android cell phone, and its automatic! Nice one, right?
Instructions
