CompanionLink now enables sync with Windows Live and Windows 8
I have previously blogged here about CompanionLink, and I have been given some exciting news from them – they have confirmed with me that Windows 8 is now compatible.
It also syncs with Windows Live now as well, so it can connect to your Windows Phone.
CompanionLink are constantly adding new devices to sync with your contacts, for example the new Amazon Kindle Fire. They have also provided me with a promotional code, SYNCKINDLE, so that CompanionLink for Google is just $39.95.

[Expired] CompanionLink Pro Competition [Competition]
Last year I wrote a review on CompanionLink Professional v3 and CompanionLink gave us three licenses of CompanionLink Professional (worth $99.95), as well as their RunStart installation service (worth $39), which three lucky Windows Guides readers won.
Recently, CompanionLink have released their version 4 edition of their software, which I must say I love more than v3! I have posted an updated review here.
Very kindly, CompanionLink have given us three licenses of CompanionLink Professional and their RunStart installation service for three lucky Windows Guides readers again!
