The INQ1 is available for pre-order now. £79.99 PAYG. — I’ll take two please. £80 quid a go? Brilliant! Well. I can only actually USE one at a time. I’m slightly concerned about the possibility of adopting the INQ1 because I fear it could be hugely, hugely addictive! I really do like the concept of having my social address book from the likes of Facebook and Skype integrated in one place. With other people keeping their numbers up to date. I shall most definitely get one. I think I will get one in-store when they become available. I noticed today as I strolled past a few 3UK shops that... [Tags: address book, facebook, skype]

Google Calendar CalDAV/iCal syncing now official — Filed under: Internet ToolsAlthough the plumbing has been in place since the summer, it's always nice to have an official announcement, and now we do: Google has gone on the record with its support for CalDAV syncing from iCal to Google Calendar. You can now gracefully sync your editable Google calendars with your (Leopard-only) iCal, keeping a local copy of those events in the cloud.Granted, both BusySync (which adds Bonjour-based iCal synchronization between Macs) and SpanningSync (which includes Address Book --> Google contact sync) have been handling this task with aplomb for some time, and they offer something Google hasn't...

Birthdays and Photos, From Facebook to Your Mac — With the surmised official launching of Facebook Connect, it’s evident that Facebook will very well become the center of activity and attention for a good portion of the social web. But why limit this social hub to other online networks? A new application called AddressBookSync lets you match Facebook user photos and birthdays with your Mac OS X address book and your iPhone, simplifying your offline life just a little bit. AddressBookSync does his by matching names from your Facebook friends list to those in your address book. There is an option for “Last Name Only” matching, as well as...

Missing Sync For BlackBerry Bold: Contact Synch has Known Failure — Mark/Space advertises their Missing Sync for BlackBerry with an image of a BlackBerry Bold on their home page. They also issued this press release on November 11, 2008 pronouncing “full synchronization support for BlackBerry Bold”. So you’d think that the product would synchronize data between a BlackBerry and a Mac Address Book (also prominently displayed on their home page). Wrong. At first it looked as if my contacts were synching up just perfectly. Unfortunately after my second and subsequent synchronizations the contacts on my BlackBerry Bold doubled. And apparently there’s no way around this except to walk through a... [Tags: address book, blackberry, failure, mac address, mark space]

Sync 'Em 1.15 adds setup assistant, public folders — Derman Enterprises has posted an update to its Sync 'Em, its Mac-based synchronization application. The program attempts to keep contact and calendar data consistent between multiple apps and user accounts; it does this by linking information from Exchange and Google with Mail, iCal and Address Book. The exact data shared varies however, as Sync 'Em does not yet, for example, support Google Cale...... [Tags: address book, apps, calendar data, exact data, google]

Update some iCal event info without editing — If you double-click an event in the 10.5 version of iCal, you get a little pop-up window with some details and Edit and Done buttons, as you probably already know. This window might look worthless for editing, but even if you don't press the Edit button, if you drag and drop some text onto this pop-up window, the text will be added to the notes field of the displayed event. I did this by accident and was surprised it happened, so I tried a few more things. Drag and drop a file, and it is added as an attachment. Drag...

Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? — smee2 writes "In the past, when a family member died, you could look through their files and address books to find all the people and businesses that should be notified that the person is deceased. Now the hard-copy address book is becoming a thing of the past. I keep some contact information in a spreadsheet, but I have many online friends that I only have contact with through web sites such as Flickr. My email accounts have many more people listed than my address book spreadsheet. I have no interest in collecting real world info from all my online contacts....

Complete Firefox forms using Address Book data — Safari has long had the ability to pull data from the OS X Address Book, and use only that information to fill in forms. I just submitted an extension to Mozilla that does the same for Firefox: Addressbook.app Form Filler. (As new extensions are considered by addons.mozilla.org to be experimental, you'll have to log in to the Firefox extensions site in order to install it.)There are a few differences from the way this works in Safari. This extension can find U.S. states and Canadian provinces that are in pull-down lists, and it's triggered by a toolbar button, rather than doing...

Nokia adds support for Lotus Notes in Symbian S60 — There's hardly anything more embarrassing that admitting that your company still uses Lotus Notes, but for the millions upon millions (140 million, in fact) of licensed users who'd love the opportunity to check in via their S60-based handset, this one's for you. Starting next month, Lotus Notes support will be granted for Symbian S60 3rd Edition, meaning that anyone with a fresh S60 device can soon tap into Lotus Notes Traveler and access real-time email, calendar, address book, journal and to-do list data. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't be so enthusiastic -- leaving work at work is a... [Tags: address book, cellphones nokia, engadget, lotus, lotus notes support]

Mac OS X only: Free, open-source application Vocito puts Google's one-phone-number-to-rule-them-all application GrandCentral on your desktop, integrating directly with your Address Book contacts. The most obvious way to place a call once you launch Vocito and enter your GrandCentral login is to click the new menu bar item, search for the contact you want to call, and place your call—but it's by no means the only way. Beyond Address Book integration, Vocito also works with Quicksilver (awesome), Automator, and AppleScript. We haven't seen a lot of movement from GrandCentral since Google acquired it last year, so it's exciting to see... [Tags: address book, automator, download mac os x, free open source, google]
