Re: Best way to sync MS Outlook to Android Kramer,
Your answer from the MS thread has me confused though it is helpful.
Why would I need to have a domain name to use Google apps?
For clarification to others I have copied and pasted beneath your reply on the MS closed thread.
"Download Google Calendar Sync for syncing your Outlook Calendar with Google. That is free. Contacts are trickier. One way is to buy an app that does it. I bought a Companionlink product for about 40 bucks that does it. If you buy that, you will not need Google Calendar Sync because the Companionlink product does both the Calendar and Contacts. The third way is to transition to a Google Apps account which would require a domain name be purchased. Google Apps has the capability of syncing both Contacts and Calendar info with Outlook." |

| Yes, you need a domain name for Apps. 1and1.com has a deal where you can get a .com for 99 cents for the first year. The Myphoneexplorer app mentioned here twice sounds interesting although I haven't used it. If it is limited to wifi only sync, I wouldn't find that useful though. Edit: Actually the more I think about it, WIFI sync is that bad. I really don't care when it gets into Outlook as long as it gets in by the time I get home. |

It's not limited to WiFi, you can sync via USB also, I just find it more convenient to use WiFi.
Also, you have to start the program on the PC, so it's not automatic. Launch app on phone, start Outlook, launch program from within Outlook, then sync.
If you just want to sync your contacts with Google, there's Go Contact Sync »sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/ but again, you need to be at the PC to sync to Outlook. |
