New tool: Import contacts from Gmail

[jkatzen]

I've created a free (donations always accepted, gratefully) tool that will translate the Google Contacts export format into MagicJack's XML format.

Just export your Gmail contacts, then convert the file using the web-based tool I created, and then save it to the MagicJack device. You'll have to unplug and replug the MagicJack device to show the changes in the MagicJack address book.

This will overwrite any existing contacts you may have in MagicJack. If you want to just append your Google Contacts while saving your existing MJ numbers, you'll need to save the converted file, open it in a text editor, and copy most of it into MJ's XML file manually.

This was originally just something I threw together for my own use, but I decided to release it. If you run into any problems, please mention them here.
