I've been using this product for years now since it was first released (it's actually called "Outlook" in my case), but only recently upgraded from version 1 of akruo/outloook syncing software when they started charging $50 per year! The basic functionality as explained by their website should be free at least until you see how many people use your service before deciding whether or not its worth paying that kind money annually - unless there are some great new features being added every single day which isn't always what happens :) We're saving time because we don' have our phones next us anymore so everything gets done via email these days instead so having another computer-based system like outlook makes things much easier than carrying around all those gadgets everywhere i go anyway :D.
