Plaxo 3.0 Makes Using the MacBook More Viable July 8, 2007
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Review, Tech , trackbackI’ll be the first to admit that I was often frustrated with the MacBook when I first got it. I was using it primarily for web browsing and iTunes and not much else. The main reason I kept it was primarily that iTunes worked better — Music sounded much better (less static/interference from other components) and supported longer (non-truncated) file names for music files.
However, I couldn’t use it as a primary system because Microsoft Outlook isn’t available on the Mac platform. And, I simply must (MUST!) have Outlook and Plaxo before I can consider making the switch. Yes, Plaxo does sync the Mac Addressbook but it isn’t exactly flawless. It seems to have trouble with timezones on the Mac and often caused duplicate entries due to categories.
The new version of Plaxo (currently in Beta) is a step in the right direction. I am now able to sync both iCal and the Mac Addressbook. I can also sync my Outlook Calendar and Addressbook with Gmail. This is allowing me to sync my phone with the MacBook instead of the ThinkPad and it seems to be working well — no duplicates and no issues with timezones. Yaay!
