Anyway, version 5.x of Now UtD is very stable, and handles multiple users pretty well, provided you have a machine that is always on. Now Contact (the companion program for handling contacts) is a little flakey (don't bother with keywords), but is much better than Apple's Address book, for instance.




[For what it's worth, we've been happy with Now Up-to-Date & Contact as well, although we don't have significant syncing or data integration needs that would be better met by iCal/Address Book. -Adam]


I wonder: has anyone has figured out how to syncing Now Up-to-Date & Contact with an iPod touch? If that were comfortably possible, I'd happily buy a new license for it.

Alternatively I might move to iCal/Address Book (OK, but a bit limited compared to NUTD/C), but exporting to iCal/Address Book seems to be quite a challenge. I've tried a couple of times but have failed so far. Fields from one end up in the wrong field of the other, contacts/events simply disappear, etc. (It's been quite a while since my last attempt, so I don't recall exactly which approaches I did and didn't try.)
