14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has rolled out the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac OS X, a utility that allows Windows Phone 7 users to sync music, photos, videos and podcasts from their Macs’ existing iTunes and iPhoto libraries with their Windows-powered phone.
Describing the Windows Phone 7 Connector utility, Microsoft explains: “Windows Phone 7 Connector lets your syncronize your favorite music, videos, photos and podcasts from iTunes and iPhoto to your Windows Phone 7, so you can take your media with you wherever you go.”
On the company’s Download Center, related resources can be found, such as the Windows Phone 7 Connector (for Mac) Welcome Video, and Windows Phone 7 Connector (for Mac) Help Documentation.
After downloading the PDF help guide, Softpedia learned that, just like with Apple devices, the Windows phone needs to be connected to the original computer the media came from in order to delete files.
Microsoft makes it clear for every customer that “When you sync media files from your Mac with your Windows Phone 7, hard drive space on your phone decreases.”
“If you are tired of listening to a certain song or no longer want to view a photo that is out of date, you can delete the media file from your phone. This increases hard drive space on your phone so you can add different media,” the company explains.
It then notes that “If you sync your Windows Phone 7 with multiple computers, the phone needs to be connected to the computer the media originated from to delete files.”
The only Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac system requirement listed by Microsoft is Mac OS X version 10.5 aka Leopard. The utility is also compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. iPhoto '09 or later may also be required for all sync features to be available.
