Quicktime 6.3 and iSync 1.1
Apple announced today the immediate availability of Quicktime 6.3:
Quicktime 6.3 brings 3GPP support which is aimed at high quality video/audio for mobile devices such as cellphones and PDAs.
QuickTime 6.3 enables users to share high-quality video, audio and text on a new generation of wireless devices including cell phones and PDAs. QuickTime 6.3 delivers extensive support for the 3GPP standard, including Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) audio, MPEG-4 and H.263 video, 3G Text (TX3G) and native .3gp file format support.
3GPP support was announced last year by Apple, with recent rumors of the final release.
Also announced today is iSync 1.1:
iSync 1.1 adds support for over 20 mobile phones from Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Siemens, as well as Mac-to-Mac synchronization of Safari(TM) bookmarks for .Mac subscribers. iSync 1.1 supports more Bluetooth-enabled phones than any other syncing software and has added syncing via USB for several Motorola phones.
iSync details were leaked at ThinkSecret but then pulled at the request of Apple legal.
