IMRANANWAR Glad to see someone else is validating my complaints that DayLite will corrupt Address Book data. It also cannot handle synch if you have more than 1500 or so contacts. This is what I posted on another blog (of someone singing the praises of the product {that they got for free from the developer or something like that}.... November 17, 2007 at 2:40 pm I am happy to find you blog. But, I guess it has come to this, that DayLite is giving away the product to get hopefully some good reviews. I am hoping that your readers and you want objective reviews/comments, I strongly suggest that people considering DayLite look at all available info to ensure they don’t shoot themselves in the foot. I used to praise DayLite and MarketCircle. But, several of their upgrades have caused me (and others) grief. Check out their Forum discussion areas to see. Search for Synch Problems type threads. The current version is BUGGY still. They are good people who try hard to dix their product, but right now, the product CAN CAUSE DATA LOSS. I repeat, be prepared to do lots of work over when a synch will destroy what you put in. Normally, that can be a mere annoyance, but it is doubly horrible when you take some important phone numbers during a call, enter them in, clearly see them, and after a synch find the number, or URL, completely disappeared. It’s a great effort on MarketCircle’s part to make this product, but it is dangerous until they fix the issues I and others have sent in hundreds of crash reports on. Then there are ridiculous examples of poorly thought integration. Their field names and headings do not match up with AddressBook. Any developer writing to Mac OS X should be thinking that most people will get core functionality (and integration benefits) of the Mac’s awesome synching capabilities, through the use of built-in iSync capabilities, so one would expect them to ensure their field names etc. matched up at least to that core minimum. Not so DayLite. Instead of my opinion, feel free to follow the threads on their forums. I have not even opened the Pandora’s Box of what installing Leopard will do - so I am sitting waiting to install a perfectly good brand new Leopard DVD until I know for sure it will not cause DayLite to destroy more data or time or effort than usual. I am anxiously awaiting these issues being resolved before I buy more licenses, install them on new Macs and ship them to my team in USA and Pakistan. With Leopard and even with updates, DayLite failed to synch. I even installed it fresh on a brand new BRAND NEW iMac 24" and it crashed on the first sync.
