Windows Phone Thoughts: Sync your Facebook Contacts with Windows Mobile & Outlook

"Mel Sampat has created an application called OutSync. OutSync is a free Windows application that syncs photos of your Facebook friends with matching contacts in Microsoft Outlook. It allows you to select which contacts are updated. So you can update all contacts at once or just a few at a time. The main benefit of OutSync is for Windows Mobile users. Updated contacts are automatically synced with Windows Mobile devices by Exchange server or ActiveSync. Thus new and fun photos appear during calls and other places where contacts are used."



If you're a Facebook user and also an Outlook user, this is a really neat application. I'm on Facebook, but I don't tend to have much crossover between work and personal - most of the people on my Facebook account aren't in Outlook. If anything they're in Windows Mail, which I tend to use most often for doing person email. It's great to see a Windows Mobile solution for the problem of Facebook photos and Outlook photos (which I think are a majorly under-developed part of Windows Mobile and Outlook).
