Default Synching Outlook and Gmail

http://www.dailytech.com/Google+Off...rticle15378.htm

"Google has announced this week that it has removed another barrier that prevents some users from taking advantage of Google emails service. Some users like the Gmail interface, others want to use Outlook to get email. Google has announced a new feature called Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook that lets users continue using Outlook to manage their email and other functions like calendars and still take advantage of Google's cloud-based email service."

If you are interested in moving to Gmail, but can't bring yourself to totally cut the cord from Outlook, take a look at the new features Google has added to Gmail.

Sadly, it only works for Premier accounts. However, given the < $5/mo/user fee for a premier account, this makes Google a decent alternative to hosted exchange. However, given that you get this level of integration with Outlook for free with Office Live Small Business, I'm still not sure this is all that compelling.

It's not compelling at all to me, once you read the list of things it doesn't do. No tasks, no collaboration, no sync to your Windows Mobile phone. For all that, it's only available on a premier account so it's not like it's free. I'll stick with my Exchange account.

I haven't experienced any decent calendar syncing between gCal and my WinMo phone.

Google has a long way to go, before they can truly compete with Microsoft in this regard.
