At Windows Guides, we usually review software, however after discovering this Jabra system and its integration abilities with a different range of devices and their PC Suite, I was so impressed that I decided to blog about it!

CompanionLink now enables sync with Windows Live and Windows 8

Posted by Harry On January - 2 - 2012Comments Off

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.

Update to Tsohost Hosting Competition

Posted by Harry On May - 9 - 20114 COMMENTS

The competition, ran with the help of Tsohost, has now expired. The following people have won and will be contacted by Tsohost soon:

  • Lise Caron
  • Allen Adamson
Congratulations Lise and Allen!

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!

To enter, all you have to do is visit this survey by Sunday the 15th of May (11:59PM BST) and answer the questions on the survey. We’ll then enter you into our competition, and you could win.

Email addresses will be kept private (as always) however we will share the three winners’ details with CompanionLink for obvious reasons.

You can also download a 14-day free trial over at the CompanionLink website, by clicking here.
