When I was looking for a software to synchronize my Palm information with Google Calendar, I found CompanionLink for Google.

I could not find any review for CompanionLink for Google but bought it anyway because there were not many alternatives available.

It has given me many problems.

Some of them are – my Palm and Google records :

1. were deleted – I use Palm to help me remember my friends’ birthday and I missed a couple of them because of this

2. were date-shifted – eg I originally entered a birthday event on Aug 19, but after synchronizing, the event goes to Aug 20. This caused me some embarassment.

3. were  duplicated – this is the latest I discovered (see picture above)

My review for the software – it’s not very good.

Buy it because there’re no alternatives but be careful of the problems above.

Update on 19 July 2008:

The above was my original post. A few days after it appeared, a few CompanionLink posted comments to offer to help.

I logged a support ticket and they did try very hard to help.

It’s still unresolved because I could not reproduce duplicating and deleted events. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will eventually resolve.

You might have better luck than me and the CompanionLink staff will certainly try to help it work for you.
