Nova media has released FoneSync for HTC (http://macte.ch/N4gCB), an utility to synchronize Address Book contacts, iCal calendars, iTunes playlists and iPhoto albums between Android smartphones, Android tablets and Mac OS X.

“FoneSync features an iTunes like interface and is thus easy to use and nice to look at. Apart from that, it runs stable and fast even if large data volumes have to be synchronized with the device,” says Jan Fuelleman of nova media. “FoneSync HTC for Mac OS X can synchronize address book contacts and groups, iCal calendars, iTunes playlists including videos, as well as iPhoto albums and events.”

To avoid double download hassle, FoneSync is available in the Android Market and the download from the Android Market already includes the Mac application. The Mac application is installed onto the Mac from the Android device. To use FoneSync for HTC, select the data to be synchronized in the Mac application and click the Sync button. No further action is required on the HTC device itself.

FoneSync requires Android OS 2.2 or higher on the Android devices and Mac OS 10.6 on later. It costs approximately US$14.
