Anyone testing the Omea Pro 2.3 beta?

I have been using Omea Pro since early Version 1. The latest ‘EAP’ release 1106: http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/download/eap.html - is a VERY big improvement on all previous versions. I did stop using it for 6-9 months or more, because there were too many serious bugs, and the developers totally stopped responding in the Forums, which we later discovered was because a decision was being made to put it in Open Source.

Some few are still reporting Contact duplication, but that is not happening for me, (I am using Outlook 2007).

I am getting excited about it all over again - because it really does have extensive features and functions for power users that no other product comes close to - even UltraRecall Pro which now has extensive file, and Outlook sync doesn’t match up in my opinion.

When Zoot 5 finally arrives, maybe that will equal or surpass Omea Pro - but one major issue with Outlook Sync with Zoot 4 is that if you move Outlook Items into different Outlook Folders after sync with Zoot, the links to Zoot are broken - which for me makes Zoot unusable for that purpose. Plus the Omea Pro file and Outlook Sync are automatic - you don’t need to manually resync - a big plus.
