Address Book Sync or Soocial Sync?
Why should I use Soocial instead of the sync capability now natively built in to Address Book?
Are there features planned for Soocial that will set it apart from this native capability?

I’m undecided on which to use

Inappropriate?Good question Logan, we think it's cool that Apple is using the Google Contacts API now too! (Even there are some reports that it doesn't work correctly yet, but I'm sure Apple will fix that soon.)
Soocial does a lot more than just sync with Google, of course we sync with 400+ phones (no native iPhone app just yet), Highrise, Mac's and provide easy automatic backup features. As we stand now our sync with Google is more stable and we merge and filter duplicates and don't sync contacts with only an email address (as GMail has the tendency to pollute your Address Book with nameless email addy's).
As far as future features, we'll be adding many more connections to Microsoft Outlook, Blackberry, a native iPhone app, LinkedIn, Windows Live and Yahoo
Mail. Also we'll be adding taggins and filtering options that will give you greater control over which contacts get synced to what (e.g. work contacts only in Highrise, personal only on your phone, and only contacts with emails in your GMail).
And don't forget the social aspect that your friends are updated if you change your details (this feature is not active yet though).
I’m stoked about Soocial's GMail goodness

Will there be the ability to sync multiple Gmail accounts with Soocial? Right now you can only create one Gmail connection, but I would like to have at least two. -
There will be an option to add multiple GMail accounts, we have currently switched it off due to scalability issues. As soon as we are confident about this we'll be turning it on. Expect it to be possible sometime next week.
