One little footnote in T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender edition announcement that we missed was the inclusion of a music sync solution from doubleTwist. Well, it sounds like as of tomorrow, this app will come preloaded on some other Android devices from T-Mobile (like the Motorola cliq, Samsung Behold II, G1, and of course the Nexus One). doubleTwist makes a syncronization app for desktop computers that helps a number of mobile platforms stay hooked up with music, photos, movies (converted as needed), and even buy MP3s over Amazon. Basically, it’s iTunes, only not strangled by an iron, Apple-shaped fist. I would bemoan the lack of PIM syncing for contacts and calendar, but it’s mostly managed over-the-air by Google anyway. The Amazon MP3 store apparently won’t make it into the T-Mobile-branded version for reasons yet unknown (maybe waiting on their own service, like VCast, or working with a different partner?). One way or the other, we’ll find out tomorrow!
