Well finally “Exchange for the rest of us” has arrived. Google announced their Sync app with support Mail, Calendar and Contacts!
I’ve been using Apple’s MobileMe on my iPhone since I first got my phone last year. It’s had a few hiccups but other than than It’s been great for keeping my personal life in sync. From my initial playing Google Sync was a breeze to set up and seems to work pretty much the same as MobileMe with regards to Mail, Calendar and Contacts and it works along side it so I don’t necessarily need to switch right away:
I need to play a little more before I make a “switch” decision but it apparently supports a number of different devices including:
- iPhone (2.2)
- BlackBerry
- Nokia S60
- Nokia standard
- Sony Ericsson
- Windows Mobile
so it might also be a great way for small business to sync employees without the cost of an in-house exchange server.
