Thunderbird Add-ons do allow you to sync with Google calender and contacts.

Thunderbird email client can run on MS, OSx and Lunux and the Add-ons will work regardless of OS.

The add-ons needed are -
lightning to add calenders
Zindus to add google address book syncing
"Provider for Google calender" for err well google calender.

Good post. as a big fan of google, you can't go wrong with that. Does anyone use Outlook with their google account? I think it was this site that I found, Outlook Track-It, a followup email plugin for Outlook 2007. It lets you flag e-mails for followup reminders so you don't forget to reply. NOW if only google can do that :) no?

That's a really smart move from Google. Ill sure use the new service, at least try. I am pretty sure that this move will strengthen GMail's popularity even more.

Where is the option to "add more services?" I can't seem to find it. Please help. Thank you!

I just wish they'd make the contacts function work for me, rather than vice-versa. I hate how it auto-adds contacts. I end up with people who I emailed once, three years ago, being in my address book. WTF? I'd rather them fix that.

Still, overall, I can't complain. Gmail itself is fucking awesome.

Yeah, they'd ruin Twitter, just like they've ruined YouTube, Earth Viewer (Google Earth), Picasa ... Oh, wait, they didn't ruin those. They made them 10,000 times better, more reliable, more open, etc., etc.

We do have to be vigilant when it comes to keeping the market competitive, but there's plenty of competition when it comes to the online world, I think. :)

This is really huge for me becuase I had such a hard time getting to the contacts from the iPhone interface and then not all the functionality was there, like groups.

I really don't see the point of it. What's the news? It's still the old clunky contacts we've had for years. Heck, it's not even synced properly w/ Google Voice contacts. Yes, so many people are using FB or Twitter to communicate, you'd think Google would be combining all that...perhaps a combo Reader/Gmail/Twitter tool using all the API available...with all contacts in one place. Heck, could they at least open a spot to record Twitter names for those contacts you don't wanna follow that closely on Twitter?

Knowing the geniuses from Google, they'll probably find some method by which you can forward invitations-etc. to your contact-list with the click of a button, and who knows what other wondrous things they'll conceive from there?

I don't see anything special here, they moved the contacts to a sub-domain what else?

If this is anything like a number of other Google services, I am sure we will see functionality added soon.
