) and not everyone likes iSync on a Mac. That’s where NovaMedia comes in and helps those that do wish to have a “like-one” relationship between Mac and cellular phone. FoneLink is a pretty impressive phone “suite” that will synchronize data between your phone and a Mac.
SMS message management, which includes backup and restore, using a Time Machine like interface called Time Tunnel is just one part of bring the ease and look of the Mac to FoneLink. With the addition of Quick-Sync and Quick-Text as well as support for a slew of new phones, FoneLink 2.1 may be the answer for many phone users out there looking to start a relationship between their phone and Mac.

TapeDeck allows you to easily record audio on your Mac from a single source as easily as just pressing that red Record button on the tape deck. You know the recording is happening from the “dancing” meter as well, get this, from the tape moving in the display window. Just like the old days! When you’re all done recording, TapeDeck files your “tape” in a shoe box with your added titles and allows for easy retrieval later by simply clicking on the tape. Very simple, very cool. You can share your recordings via email, send them to iTunes or to Apple TV.
TapeDeck isn’t meant to take sales from sophisticated software like WireTap Studio but rather fill in that little void for a simple to use single-source recordings. For $25, this is a straight up winner in my book. Now excuse me before I release the pause button as I prepare to record “Go” from Def Leppard’s new album, “Songs From The Sparkle Lounge“.
