The featured application SyncTunes has been updated to version 2.0 (thanks to Dirk for the heads up). The new version advertises the following new features (directly from the SyncTunes website):

While the wireless convenience of Bluetooth is all the rage, there are still perfectly valid reasons for plugging in your mobile via an USB cable, for instance if you are transferring large amounts of data (such as music or photos). The USB connection still has a clear speed advantage. Read on more for oldskool USB tips.
