Today we're opening the Spanning Sync v2.0 Public Beta, which not only adds support for syncing Address Book with Gmail contacts (click here to watch a video preview) but also improves the performance and reliability of syncing iCal with Google Calendar.
Much thanks to our private beta testers, who have provided invaluable feedback over the last few weeks.
Important: Before you start, please back up both your Gmail and Address Book contacts. Instructions are in the ReadMe.
If you'd like to help us test Spanning Sync v2.0b, you can download it from
Remember, it's a beta, so we expect you to find problems. In fact, we hope you do! Please email all feedback to beta@spanningsync.com.
Today we're also formally launching the Spanning Sync Beta Blog![[Feed]](http://spanningpartners.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/feedicon16x16.png){kind=small}
where our beta users can keep up to date with the latest beta releases and join in the public conversation.
Once we've fixed all the bugs discovered during the beta process we'll officially launch v2.0, which like all Spanning Sync upgrades will be free to paid subscribers. Stay tuned to the Beta Blog for more.
I have a big overlap between gmail contacts & addressbook contacts. However, my address book is much better organised.
How will the synchronisation deal with that? Am I able to synch it one-way (to gmail) so that I can organise them there before enabling full synchronisation? Is it possible to synch 'new' gmail contacts into a specific group - so I can easily find the possibly junk new contacts?
