Apple released an update for the iPod at Macworld Tokyo allowing users to transfer vcard contact information to the device. The iPod’s new Contact software enables users to transfer contact lists from Entourage, Palm Desktop or Mac OS X’s Address Book into the iPod Contacts folder.
The AppleScripts, created in AppleScript Studio, will automate the process of extracting and importing contact listings from your computer into an upgraded iPod.
The following AppleScripts are available from Apple’s Web site:
Address Book to iPod (74K) — This application will import the contact data from the Mac OS X Address Book into your iPod. This application offers the ability to sort the contact names by last name or first name.
Version 1.0.1 now adds support for Japanese systems.
Entourage to iPod (60K) — This application will import the contact data from the Microsoft Entourage application into your iPod. The application offers the ability to sort the contact names by last name or first name. Now supports Japanese systems.
Version 1.0.1 now adds support for Japanese systems and cell, pager and fax numbers.
Palm Desktop to iPod (74K) — This application will import the contact data from the Palm Desktop application into your iPod. This application offers the ability to sort the contact names by last name or first name.
Apple notes that these applications are designed for use on a computer running Mac OS X 10.1 (with Dev Tools CD) or 10.1.2 and higher.
