Improvements in release 2.0 include "full sync and import support for Apple Aperture software," according to a Microsoft blog post . Aperture is a suite of tools for importing, organizing, modifying and sharing digital images. The imports of files can be accomplished through a drag and drop interface.
Microsoft improved video conversions and improved video metadata-tagging support with the new connector. Podcast synchronization was improved. Microsoft also claims that it has enhanced the backup-and-restore operations with this release.
The connector will add support for Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace when the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS is released through mobile operators. Users will also be able to transfer ringtones between the two platforms when Mango is generally available.
