vCards for Y!Addresses
| Monday, July 9th, 2007 | --jr |
Over the weekend, I got a new phone. (No, not an iPhone. That failed the wife/budget test.) As part of that, I wanted to get a copy of my current Yahoo! Address Book onto it.
I went to the import/export page and noticed two new buttons, both for vCard support.
Sure enough, it's also supported in import (as the combined, single vCard file) should you want to go the other way and load your vCards back in. Pretty darn spiffy if you want to load up into the new version of Outlook, your iPod (or other Mac based device, just use the multi-card zip file), Palm or any other vCard ready service you might want to use.

The zip file approach is more trouble than it’s worth for the Mac AddressBook or any other Mac compatible device, so use the single file option. Unlike Outlook, most vCard compatible apps easily handle multiple vCards in a single file, but since Outlook doesn’t support it I added the zip file option so those users weren’t left without.
Glad you liked the feature!

Huh, I tried dumping the All as One vCard onto a nano and it got horribly confused, thus my confusion.
Sorry about that.
(and yes, LOVE the feature.)
