I'd be more than happy to pay a few bucks for a Windows Mobile app that syncs my Pocket Outlook directly with Google calendar.
And a lot more for an app that syncs Pocket Outlook with Google mail.

If you check out Toffa it is a Sync company focused toward businesses. Even though the beta is free I can see them adding features like syncing Contacts and also your Mail with your mobile device and giving small businesses a cheap option to running a Exchange server.

I know if this service was proven and they add Contacts and Mail I would drop my Shared Exchange email account in a instant.]]>Nov 6th 2006 9:22AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/
It's only failed so far, no sync :(

Oh well.]]>Nov 6th 2006 11:17AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/Nov 6th 2006 11:29AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/Nov 6th 2006 12:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/
Either than or a FULL fledged google mobile application installable on all current platforms would rock. Though, I would really like a dedicated situation for handleing my google documents, photos, calendar and so on. Rock on google!]]>Nov 6th 2006 2:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/Nov 6th 2006 3:31PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/Nov 6th 2006 4:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/you have to register at the site as well as fill in all the data on the phone app.

I too suspect that google will be offering PUSH in the future, however it will probably come out in some proprietary format, and is probably a year away.

my only complaint is that it only SYNCS my data, and not the calendar info that I have shared with my wife. we try to arrange our schedules with the google calendar, and here info is not translated int he SYNC. ahh well.. its a start...

2) gcalsync.com already exists for many other mobiles, was recently brought open source, it includes blackberry support (it ain't perfect either, but if your mobile supports Java, give it a try since it is also F-R-E-E). (some users find it has issues with syncing or with the signing of the Java not working right.)

So another GCal syncing program that just doesn't work 100% right. Come on Google, you released a mobile Gmail app, get with the GCal App! (yea, i know you can text into GCal, but sometimes when you are really trying to look at your schedule, it would be nicer to LOOK at it instead of texting.)

On a side note to all those Blackberry users, anyone notice your Gmail is REALLY delayed on your blackberry lately? Mine went from within 5 min to 12 hours to now as much as several days later, resent the service books and still not working right. All other mail is still on time.]]>Nov 7th 2006 11:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/11/05/toffa-unveils-goosync-google-calendar-on-your-mobile/
