Make sure you're using the 3m version, which shouldn't complain about
the version of iCal anymore. If it does there's a workaround posted on
everchanging.com's forums to get around it, or you can download the
replacement plug-in from Glass Onion. In either case, repeating events
and all day events seem to be unresolved issues. Otherwise, date
synching works. As does address book.
Haven't seen a post from John (author of NewtSync) in a while - my
guess is he's buried in OSX land. But remember as of version 3m I
believe the code became open source, so if John's not planning on
continuing the effort, someone else might be able to pick it up.

Paul Guyot can chime in on that one - I haven't seen any other sync
options since NewtSync.
