Hello,

I would like to use some sort of address book to store my work contacts, i use OS X Lion on my macbook pro, and have an iPhone.

I would like to be able to synch my contacts from my phone to my macbook pro and vise versa.

I would also like to be able to backup my contacts to maybe dropbox or some other similar technology.

Any suggestions on how i can accomplish all this?
Does this functionality already exist?
Which applications could you suggest?

Thanks for your time!

Regards
Richard

I'm assuming you haven't tried using the free and included Address Book application by Apple? It automatically syncs to your iPhone's Address Book app. You can backup your address on your Mac by going into the Address Book application and using the export address book archive feature. Just save the file anywhere you like.
