Hi Eden, If you're using "Address Book Compatibility Mode" this won't be a problem for contacts that were created or edited in Apple's Address Book. However, if you use "Gmail Compatibility Mode" this behavior is expected, but is new. In the past, we've always mapped single names to the first name field, but in order to be more compatible with Google's own sync apps, we've changed it so single names wind up in the last name field. I agree that this often isn't the desired result, but we're trying to be as compatible as possible with other applications and devices (like Outlook, the G1 phone, BlackBerry, etc) that Google syncs to, so we've made the decision to follow their design.
