After more than a year in beta, Beloved Outlook add-in Xobni is now an official product. Better yet, it’s still free (though a premium version is in the works) and it runs much faster than before. Here’s a look at what’s new and improved.

Actually, there’s nothing all that new in Xobni 1.7, but much has been improved:

  • Outlook now starts 31% faster, and profiles load 42% faster.
  • You now have the choice to make Xobni start immediately with Outlook, or start only when you want to use it.
  • You can control how often and how much data Xobni indexes.
  • Fixed compatibility issues with BlackBerry Desktop software, MobileMe, Microsoft Office Communicator, and other applications.

If you’re an Outlook user and you haven’t tried Xobni, you’re missing out on a truly excellent tool. It’s definitely a favorite ’round these parts. [via Download Squad]

    Highly useful. Very neat interface. I love the statistics. My average response time is pretty good, it seems. Why haven't I heard of this before?
