I found great solution to sync Google contacts and calendar with outlook. It works in background, does not lag my PC and syncs within seconds.

Got my Droid on 15 Feb ‘10. I have two apps — one for Email another for Gmail. As far as I can tell, these came with the Droid by default. I used the email to sync to work, giving it information about the Exchange server and my account. Sync’ed with no problem (other than user error — when it asked for domain user name, I gave it the domain name, not my login user name: D’oh!). When I did that, it automatically populated the corporate calendar app. I use my Gmail for just personal stuff. So I can keep a fairly bright line between work and personal. Really was trivially easy and works great for me. Two way sync’ing. Not being able to connect to the calendar and email would have been a deal breaker.

gTasks (free app on Android Market) works well to sync with Gmail tasks.

Thank you for the tip I went to settings and found the calendar choice was still unchecked.

Peace out!

I’ve been fooling around with my new Droid HTC Eris all afternoon. Running Outlook 2003 (XP Pro) and finally downloaded an outside prg to sync Outlook with Google Calendars and it worked like a champ. NOW however, my HTC calendar won’t sync up with the Google Calendar. This is a real pain in the butt for a simple application that I NEED TO WORK. I checked to see if my ‘gmail’ was also checked for syncing and it wasn’t but I checked it now and still no sync’ing. Now where do I go? Need to download another pgm? I’m really not happy with my phone, Google or any of this. I may just go back to my ‘dumb’ phone and enter my calendar stuff there – At least it worked, gave me an alarm and I even got to enter tasks and set alarms to remind me. Any help would be appreciated.

I agree that Android needs to do direct sync with Outlook. I’ve been a long-time WinMo user and Outlook user, and I’m just too accustomed to having my phone sync directly with my computer to change that. And I will not (and probably cannot) have my data in the cloud somewhere — I want it securely located on my computer and my phone, synchronized directly between the two. Until that works with the Android OS, Android phones are off the list for me.

Just my $0.02.

Why has Google decided that Android is not for serious buiness users? Many in business will not want to store confidential data on the Google cloud where you loose all control over your data. The phones will not talk to Outlook nor Notes. If the iPhone is a neat toy, Android is looking even more like a toy failing completely at even the most basic business tasks. Email client is all but worthless on the phone, VPN fails (Android 2.01). Web browser is nice and fast credit there. But lack of talking directly with Outlook renders Android a toy, not a business tool. I guess Google says for business tools call RIM or Microsoft for children’s toys Apple or Google. Based on my experience so far, Microsoft on the desktop has absolutely nothing to fear from Google, they just don’t get it or even understand why they don’t get it. Too bad as I was looking to weaken the tie a bit from MS. Everything does not belong on the cloud!

My Outlook syncs with our server, so that the calendars on my home computer and work computer are synced. I installed GCS on my work computer to keep my calendar current on my Droid, and it works – but not always. I have had to uninstall and reinstall on my work computer.

Question: I am thinking about having GCS on both home and work computers. Would that be a good way to make sure the calendar is covered or would I end up with duplicate appointments?
