Yeah well, let’s just say it seemed worth the money. And I got to play Force Unleashed without getting an Xbox/PS3 lol.

I was of the same opinion when I had been switching from my WinMobile based HTC TyTn II to iPhone 3G. What actually came as a big surprise with iPhone is that the sync process is much, much faster than with HTC, and more reliable for that matter even it you have a Windows based Sony Vaio laptop like me.

With Apple, I am literally able to sync my whole Outllok, including Email, contacts, calendar, and notes, in the matter of seconds. Of course, one condition applies – you have to have the original Outlook installed, not a cracked version…

As a cute bonus, syncing alsoupdates my music, pic, and video files, and it comes with the possibility to chose out of hundreds of useful iPhone apps, plenty of them of charge. So it’s really a 1-click process, with very FAST execution.

Oh, by the way, what software do you use for iPhone DVD ripping?

Well I don’t use outlook. I got a Mac but mostly use googles webapps. Syncing via Outlook seems to be quite slow and just too much of a hassle. It seems I am moving away from standard client applications to the cloud and just can’t be bothered to sync with any app.

Why don’t you synchronize your iPhone 3G with Outlook directly? This way, you won’t have to use google contacts but your iPhone will just upade your Outlook contact list and vice versa…

Unless, of course, you spend so much time “on the road” that you need to sync every damn hour!
