Today, Microsoft released an update to its Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac beta software that brings some performance enhancements and new features.

The software, which allows Mac users to sync music, video, podcasts, and photos from iTunes and iPhoto with their Windows Phone 7 device, now offers a new setup experience, as well as the ability to sync purchased music from your smartphone. The browsing function also now supports manual import from device, delete from device, and preview.

Current users of the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac will automatically receive the update as it's rolled out. Meanwhile, new users can download the software from the Microsoft Download Center.
