the only downside to the google phone ifor me is not being able to sync outlook tasks - I am a Getting Things Done devotee and can't function without a highly categorized task list. Was able to do this on my old blackberry. CompanionLink touts the functionality but basically just adds tasks to the calendar - so I have over 100 tasks listed on my calendar everyday - unmanageable. Has anyone found a solution that works?

No and as far as i am aware there is no app that will do sync tasks or contacts (unless you use MSexchange), please post a note if anyone finds a MS Outlook Sync app (or is even in the process of developing one)

Im using the Hero and this sync'd ok with outlook contacts and appointments using the sync program supplied with the phone. It doesnt however sync emails which is a slight blow as my old WM phone did.

This is the only limitation of Android I have found! Just bought a Milestone (UK version of Motorola Droid) and not being able to sync Outlook tasks is a real shortcoming. Corporate Email and Corporate Calendar sync worked great, first time out of the box. As soon as any1 hears of any solutions, keen to know!

I'm also looking for a way to sync Outlook Tasks to Android EVO.

Chagrined to find that this seems impossible. I use the GTD addin for Outlook and have posted there in search of a solution.

Considering the GTD workaround for gmail, but would rather stay with Outlook.

Open to suggestions. Android developers ... help us.

I am using Outlook and G1. I synchronize using Remember The Milk (online task management) and SprinxCRM OutlookSync for Remember The Milk (for connecting to Outlook).

Some time after I got my HTC Hero I got presented with GTD. I then started to try to figure out how I was going to manage my tasks and calendar. The calendar part was pretty straight forward and easy to figure out. Google Calendar on the phone and Google Calendar Sync on my work computer for synchronizing my appointments.
The task part was a bit more difficult. I wanted to use Outlook at work since it is actually a pretty powerfull tool, but I didn't want to use it at home and for my private stuff.
I then remembered that a couple of years ago, I tested something called Remeber the Milk. After some testing I thought that it might a be possible to synchronize it with task in Outlook. I didn't have time to try to develop some synchroniziation plugin for Outlook, so I started Googling "plugin outlook RTM" etc. I then stumbled upon SpringxCRM OutlookSync and it seemed like it was just the software I was looking for.
I have been using it for 2-3 months now and it suits my needs quite well. There have been some issues when synchronizing large amounts of tasks (slow sync), but it gets synced and thats what matters to me.

It appears that Google is picking up where MS left off....How could you not synchronize with the largest email client globally? This was not overlooked....
