You can sort of do that with LookOut, which synchs the MP130 address book
to the OutLook address book. In the 5 free tries I had in the demo, it
transferred all the Newton data into Outlook, but I must have had
something messed up in how the outlook data was arranged because the Newt
wound up with many of the address entries duplicated. It may have had
something to do with how I originally exported my Newton address list
into Outlook. I was synching on about 500 entries and LookOut crashed
before getting finished updating the Newton; probably ran out of Newton
memory.
