Adam,
-Mac Only vCard Splitter is free/donation ware
-The online converter I linked to is free, they even provide the source code
-If it works, Thunderbird is also free
I'm not using the Outlook connection either. I decided to wait a while after reading some of the posts here. I also gave up on plaxo after the free version triplicated some of my contacts (I think it may have been a ploy to get you to use the pay version).
Gmail's address book has always left a bit to be desired. Going directly from outlook or a converted file from my mac a lot of the fields got a bit messed up. So until Google improves the contacts part of gmail (rumored to be in the works) I'll have lower expectations for syncing with gmail. -

Adam, Bart,
I've had the same problem trying to export my Mac's address book and import into Outlook on my PC. On the mac side of things there's a fairly simple program called vCard Splitter that facilitates this: http://homepage.mac.com/gaz/FileShari...
This will spit out a separate vCard file for each of your contacts.
But if you don't have a mac that won't do you any good. Another tool that will help is the online vCard converter found here: http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/ if you upload the file you should be able to get it back in CSV which outlook can handle.
Yet another possible avenue could be to import into thunderbird and export in a different format. I haven't used thunderbird in ages so I'm not sure if this is possible. -

Sync with more devices using NuevaSync or ActiveSync (via Z-Push)Currently the list of supported phones leaves a bit to be desired. I wanted to suggest that you look at NeuvaSync a iPhone (via exchange) to gmail and plaxo contact and calendar sync tool. Have you approached NeuvaSync about syncing with Soocial? It looks like they've been having problems with plaxo lately and they might be more receptive at the moment. I've had my own share of problems with plaxo the least of which was the comcast buy out and was excited to find Soocial.
I'd rather try to maintain a star topology for my sync efforts than use NuevaSync to sync to google and Soocial to sync from there.
It seems like it might be easier to implement an exchange like solution than developing standalone apps for the iPhone, win mo, and blackberry. Take a look at Z-Push: http://z-push.sourceforge.net/soswp/
Another site that supports plaxo (cringe) but not Soocial is Skydeck (http://skydeck.com/)
