Not sure about it yet. Looks good, but only offers 3 simultaneous download profiles. You can do the paid version for $29 and do unlimited, but I don&#8217;t want to buy another piece of sync software. I like the look of the interface though.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?displaylang=en&amp;FamilyID=c26efa36-98e0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52\">Sync Toy from Microsoft<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0free &#8211; small but powerful.
