Now... I wonder how difficult it would be to automate that... time to open visual studio I think:)

About 50% of the way there - can get the photos... just need to integrate it with outlook which finger crossed will be ok.... need to do a little bit of work now though:) and unfortunatly away all weekend so will have a crack at it later tonight.

Anyone fancy alpha testing it for me? Let me know at:

Alpha@[NOSPAM]the-dargans.co.uk

You must have Outlook 2007, A facebook account (no duh) and a smartphone/pda syncing with it.

Thanks

Ross

Well, I couldnt resist - all written and working:)

Few issues thought - firstly facebook limits the number of calls you can make to about 15 a minute... this means it takes quite a while if you have alot of friends - going to try and get this increased though.

Secondly I have had to run the app as an administrator - but it does work! - ill tidy it up and once I have the time increased Ill let the people who have emailed me test it!

Cheers

Should have a release in some form of beta tonight.

This has now entered a closed beta - let me know if you would like to test the app for me!

Email me at Beta@[NOSPAM]the-dargans.co.uk and please let me know your version of Microsoft Office, and Windows.

and M@ - I did use your API - far better than the other one I was using.

Should get a release out on the weekend:-)

How about one that exports to Windows Live Contacts? So i can make sure my hotmail / messenger contacts have the most up to date info

Fantastic idea!

Only downside i see is most of my friends use ridiculous pictures as their profile pictures...guess i'll have to nag them to use something more sensible :-)

Fonebook has gone live!

Feel free to grab it from here: http://www.the-dargans.co.uk/

And thank you to all the helpful Beta/Alpha testers!

Hotmail is a very good idea! After I have spend a bit of time with the wife I might look into that!

Cheers

I've been using Facebook for a while now and I've just noticed an interesting by-product of using Facebook that can benefit Windows Mobile 6 users. That is that it's a really easy way of collecting pictures for your contacts in your phone! I simply sav
