The live way via sync as we were describing keeps everything in sync across platforms. What you describe works when switching over the first time, but won't let u jump back and forth without having to repeat the process to keep things in sync (and runs the risk of duplicates, etc)!
Today I run windows. Maybe tomorrow I'll try out Android for a day, and add a contact. When I pop back into Windows, the contact will be there because the Google sync server acting like an exchange server keeps all info, well... in sync!
IT DOESN'T GET EASIER THAN THAT, AND THE FEATURE IS BUILT IN TO BOTH WM AND ANDROID ALREADY!
Those of you who asked about how to then sync it with outlook... that has nothing to do with the original question here
AFAIK.
In fact, ever since I started using OTA sync like this, I sort of stopped using outlook at all. Its a personal preference to use it, but you clearly don't need it.
