If you are a Google user as well as a fan of Outlook, you will be pleased to know that you can sync your Google Calendar with your Outlook Calendar.
Simply download Google Calendar Sync, select how and at what intervals you want your calendars to synchronize, and Google will do the rest. At the moment the program only supports a single Google Account at a time, but it works with Google Apps making it an even more credible alternative to Microsoft Exchange and Office.
With IMAP and Google Calendars now accounted for, contacts synchronization is the main function still lacking (although with the release of a new Google Contacts API last week, this feature is probably not far off.)
Calendar Sync for Thunderbird’s Lightning Calendar on the other hand has existed for a while and works pretty well.
What other features should Gmail/ Google Apps add next? Tell us in the comments!
this would be very useful if i had either a google calendar or an outlook calendar and definitely if i had both however……………
