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.
