Further to my previous post on an early cloud services architecture model for my business, this week I've had great success integrating two different services: Windows Mobile 6 handheld operating system with Google Calendar and Contacts - this enables me to maintain a "single version of the truth" for both calendar events and contacts - and at the same time carry both around with me on my mobile. After years of being tied into Microsoft's Exchange / Outlook sync model which ties your data to a particular desktop PC, it is pretty liberating to have everything looked after in the Cloud!
After scanning through the web for tools to manage this integration (there are a few - see Jonathan Wilbur's post on the subject at http://www.jonathanwilbur.com/syncing-google-calendar-with-windows-mobile-6/ ), I settled on OggSync (http://oggsync.com/) - version 4.19 beta currently.
Happy to report that US$29.95 buys a 1-year subscription to a fully functional sync service running on my mobile device - enables sync of timezone and multiple calendars and all of my Google contacts. Easy to buy, install and configure - highly recommended.
