Got a Droid, or any other Android-based device? With CompanionLink, you have two options to sync ACT! data with your Android-based phone.
1. Wireless sync with Android-based phones
One of the features of CompanionLink is its ability to sync ACT! data with Google, which automatically feeds the address book and calendar apps on Android-based phones. Customers can use CompanionLink Express or CompanionLink Professional to sync their ACT! contacts, calendar activities, notes, and history data.
2. Wired (USB) sync with Android-based phones
CompanionLink will launch a direct USB sync solution between ACT! and Android-based phones by January 1, 2010. The PC solution will work with a free Android app on the device that will include a custom calendar, tasks and notes/memos apps that support categories, priorities, and search.
This direct USB sync solution will avoid the need to sync through Google or host sensitive ACT! data on Google. Because the sync occurs locally via the USB cable that shipped with the Android-based phone, data is transmitted through a secure and closed connection between PC and phone.
Update 12/21/2009: CompanionLink launched this direct sync solution. You can more information here.

Sorry, but not so – companionlink still does not work properly with Android-based phones. After 20+ hours repairing their corruptions in the database, 8+ calls with tech support, countless lost calendar events, multiple duplications in the contacts, and so on…I’ve given up on this product.
Any other suggestions?
Thx
I’m with Matt. I had nothing but troubles, duplicate contacts, and major problems with the direct USB connection just doesn’t work.
Anyone with a solution, would love to hear from you.

I am using Companion Link > Deja Office with my Droid via USB and it works fine. However, I only use it for one way sync from ACT! to the phone.
Larry – I work at CompanionLink and wanted to offer some help. I’m sorry to hear you’ve had some troubles getting CompanionLink to work properly. It sounds as if there may be some settings that need to be adjusted, though we’d need to know your specific setup to be sure. If you’d like some help with it, please let me know!
