Mark/Space’s Missing Sync — an OS X lovers bes. friend — has just loosed the Symbian Public Preview for all who dare to download. Currently, the build stands at v1.0.0 (028 Preview), which suggests that there are Truly a few bugs just waiting to be discovered. Still, those handling S60 / UIQ-based mobiles can certainly give it a go and see just how effective it is at syncing information between your Mac and that beloved handset. Chime in below with any overly dramatic success / failure stories.

The darndest things can happen when you don’t have your marketing and product development groups on precisely the same page. Case in point: this ad, astutely observed by a reader and sent in. It clearly depicts a phone that doesn’t exist — at least not officially. The closest analog we can draw to it would be Alltel’s LG Glimmer, though it doesn’t share the Glimmer’s chin below the keypad. Our guess, honestly, is that some Photoshop wiz slapped an oversized VZ Navigator screen shot on a Venus, added a stupendously very big Verizon logo below it just for effect, and called it a day. Anyone else want to chime in on this?
