Does it work with mail ? It's not clear from their site, but since you use the same login, it could be very interesting to have gmail with push.

EDIT: Answered my own question.. No mail

Thats really cool! And about time! Too bad I have a lifetime subscription to GooSync which I love!!!

Works AWESOME.

Chanegs are updated in about 3 seconds either way. Also no duplicate appointments like some other google calendar sync programs.

Can't post a cab file, you have to enter login information

First before you do anything make a backup of your contacts and calendar!!!!

Okay, to make a setup cab is very easy, just follow the steps:

1) Download Scotchua Sample Google Sync XML.zip file
2) Extract the XML file "_setup.xml" which is inside the zip.
3) Open the file in Notepad (or an xml editor of your choice) not Wordpad.
4) Change "Enterusernamehere" and "Enterpasswordhere" to your actual username or password. (username is username@gmail.com)
5) Save the file.
6) Use a compression program (personally i use Alzip, but any will do) and add the _setup.xml file to an archive, and save as file type ".cab"
7) Now you should have _setup.cab or something similar. You can name it whatever you want.
8) Copy the cab file to your device, and run it.
9) Your server should be setup.

can you only have 1 ativesync? i already have activesync account for my school email.

 

[McLin]

Can you sync just oneway? Just Google to WM or in other direction? I need the WM Contacts in Google and not the old Google contacts in WM...

 

[agentmikeyd]

does it perform OTA sync automatically?

 

[Antboy]

Google sync - kinda cool but lacking

Does anyone know if there's some secret way to show birthdays in Google Contacts? I've never seen that data imported, whether using a CSV import, or with the new ActiveSync, although it puts the birthday events in Google Calendar.

 

[Csquared]

does it perform OTA sync automatically?

Yes, I found it took about 3 seconds to update automaticaly. Either way.

I agree that i think that's nice and easy, but they're gonna have to step up the offering as far as the way contacts are handled before this is really a viable option. It is only the first public beta though so i'm sure more features are coming.

Unless I am missing something, it would be nice if it could sync more than just one calendar.

 

[GLOC]

I get the following error

support code 0x85010004

 

[Designator]

I hate the fact that it syncs my contacts to lastname, firstname. I´m from Germany and am used to Firstname Lastname. I hope they implement that option in one of the next versions =)
