.Mac will now sync with your address book. Even better, it will do it across multiple machines, which is the real beauty part. In conjunction with iSync, it will work across multiple machines and your handheld, using your .Mac acct as a backing store. Works and looks fantastic – this could be the “killer app” for .Mac. Chalk up another one for Web Services, the RCA phono jack of internet computing. The missing bridge for me is that I’m using Entourage rather than Mail.app and Address Book. So the bridge I really need is Entourage —> .Mac —> handheld.
Apple is doing better in the server market than analysts expected. Personally, my itch to own and operate an XServe is getting scratchier by the day.

This is brilliant, Erik – just what I’m looking for. Thanks for the tip!
