Mac-Chi has updated WhoPaste (http://www.whopaste.com/), a contact acquisition utility for the Mac OS X Address Book, to version 4.5. The upgrade adds instant iCal To Dos.

The new iCal To Dos can be created with just a control click on Mac OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”) or with a user configurable hot key on Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”). Mac-Chi has also enhanced the underlying data model and simplified the installation process. The older two-step installation process has been replaced with the more familiar and customer-friendly “drop a file on a folder”process.

With WhoPaste installed Mac users can simply copy any contact information (e.g. just a phone number in a Sticky note, a whole signature block in an email, or even multiple rows from a spreadsheet) and without switching applications or navigating to a web site, with a single keystroke they can create a new contact in their address book.

WhoPaste requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. It costs US$15 for a single machine license. A free demo allows 20 extracted contracts or 40 Safari social views. Version 4.5 is a free update for registered users of version 4.x.
