FWIW, my Sony P900 is compatible with iSync but that doesn't help at  
all with photos. The easiest route to transfer photos seems to be to  
make the computer "discoverable" (System Prefs -> Bluetooth ->  
Settings) and then send the photos to the computer from the mobile  
phone. No doubt there's a more elegant method but I rarely use the  
phone's camera so I only do this on an occasional basis.

Don't forget to turn "discoverable" off once you've finished.
