i just deleted my plaxo account. i received an email from them stating that synchronization with outlook would no longer be included in the plaxo basic package. from the email…

We’re making some changes to our service in the coming weeks. The Outlook Synchronization feature, which has been a free feature of our service, will now become part of Plaxo Premium, effective July 30, 2009. This change will allow us to continue to invest in the development and support of this valuable (but high-cost) feature.

Outlook Synchronization will join other “power address book” features in the updated Plaxo Premium, alongside the Contacts De-Duper, Automated Backup and Recovery, Unlimited eCards, and VIP Support.

To ease the transition, we’re offering all current users of the Plaxo Toolbar a 20% lifetime discount on Plaxo Premium. You can upgrade to Plaxo Premium for $47.95/year, a $12.00/year savings off the $59.95 annual subscription. Sign up now to lock in your discount.

i only used the service because – for free – i could sync my work computer (outlook on a pc) with google and google with my home computer (mac) and iphone. so much for that.
