More recently, a popular address books and calendar synchronization service released mobile Plaxo for iPhone application. Now we have another good way to expand your iPhone address book features.
So, what can Plaxo for iPhone:
- Two-way synchronization of contacts between the Plaxo service and your iPhone or iPod Touch
- Synchronize contacts is possible not only to services but Plaxo and more popular in our Google and Facebook
- Full support for Microsoft Exchange Sync
- Integration with the phone dialer, SMS and e-mail client. Those. full-time job as an address book.
- Work in the background (for iOS4)
- a separate tab "Favorites" - running a separate group synchronization service Plaxo.
In the nearest plans of developers Microsoft Exchange Sync support.
Why am I paid attention to this example program. Well, first of all, I was curious, what has produced the famous synchronization service. Looking at the application I found it very nice. Definitely more pleasing to the eye than the native adresbuke iPhone. And another opportunity to "backup" address book, clearly hurt. Moreover, here you can not just say, write data, and a contact manager.
After all, what Plaxo service itself - it is a great synchronizing addresses, calendars and other organizer fragments between such powerful services as: Yahoo!, Google (GMail), AOL, Hotmail, LinkedIn, and most importantly Address Book and iCal on MacOS with Microsoft Outlook. As a result, having obtained such a client for the iPhone, we can fully merge synchronization "on the fly» Mac + PC + iPhone + WM-device. Even more, all of this data can be combined quickly and easily edit, enhance, and in every way to change the site Plaxo.
Plus, we take into account the factor that the service Plaxo offers a convenient "reminder" birthdays by sending you a letter with a proposal to send a postcard "newborn".
After seeing what we have already suggested, I'm all in anticipation of "continuation of the banquet," which would be a mobile client He took over from the "big brother" and also synchronize calendars, To-Doo, notes and social orientation. Although the latter do not necessarily have, when so rapidly growing Twitter.
Frankly, I've been waiting for something like this from Yahoo!, since I use for similar purposes precisely this service. Calendars I actively use on Google. But digging a little bit with Plaxo for iPhone, I decided to brush my account, which I almost never used for its intended purpose and bring it all in one place. It should probably add that client for Mac OS X There is already a long time and has helped many successful svichery "drag and drop" their organizers to a new residence.
Now, about the weaknesses of the current version:
- After a connection with one of the three services (remember, this CAM Plaxo, as well as FaceBook and Google) there is no way to get to the other two. Those. on the mobile client until you can select one of the three, but not all together.
- Work with the Google service is still very unstable, and regularly see a connection instead of «We had problems logging you in through Google»
- Settings until there is simply no (sm.skrinshot)
But even with all these nuances, Plaxo for iPhone is a pleasant sensation. So, who are interested in such a big synchronization or need a solid service to store (backup) of your contacts, it is worth a closer look.
