Hmm. They are not on the iPod site anymore, perhaps due to the impending iSync, etc.) You can always drag the contacts to the desktop, that creates a vcf for each contact. Ah! Here are the AppleScripts for Entourage -> iPod: <http://www.apple.com/applescript/ipod/> The latest version of the iPod now supports the storing and display of vCard contact information. Users can now quickly scan iPods to retrieve email addresses and phone numbers from their computer-based contact lists. To download the firmware update enabling this new feature, visit the iPod website. The following Mac OS X applications, created in AppleScript Studio, will automate the process of extracting and importing contact listings from your computer into an upgraded iPod. NOTE: These applications are designed for use on a computer running Mac OS X 10.1 (with Dev Tools CD) or 10.1.2 and higher.
