Google Sync!
 
Apologies if this has already been posted, but I'm surprised at how good Google Sync is. I no longer have to worry about third-party things like OggSync for Google Calendar integration - now it just works, and it's pushed to the phone in about 5 seconds. My only question is why didn't they add support for push email? I still need ImapPusherService for that. Other than that, it's excellent, check it out at http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html .

Completely agree :)

As for why no gmail push - google wants you to use android for that ;)

7 is freeakin sweet! you should try it to sync your gmail with your touch pro.
it also can sync your contacts and calendar from google...

Here is the .cab for 7 for the touch pro... when you install it, it will freeze... do a soft reset and then set up your info.

works for me!

I think there's already a thread on this in the Software forum (just wait for the thread merge ;) ), but remember, Google Sync is just a beta and I would imagine Contacts and Calendar were just the easier of the services to implement quickly. You can bet they're most likely working on Push mail.

I wish mine would work...It stops at 100 out of 288. Would be nice if they post some 6.1 instructions...Any suggestions?

What is ImapPusherService? Is it easy to set up?

The only problem with seven (besides the international SMS) is that the e-mail doesn't show in the preview envelope on TF3D.

I'm now using Hotmail, it works well for me (I would love GMail in html format via activesync, though).

Too bad it uses ActiveSync. I already have an Exchange server. Would have been nice to have something to sync with Google's services without replacing my Exchange syncing.

Isn't just one international text message sent when you first install the app? Unless you keep uninstalling and reinstalling, you should just get hit for one 20 cent charge.

It will also send one whenver there is a "problem" which seemed to happen to me pretty randomly. Whenever it would tell me my hotmail password needed to be updated too, I got hit with an international text.

Really, the total cost with the way it was going for me was $2-3 a month, so you could look at it that way. Or just wait for them to disable that text-home feature.

Reasonably easy. You start it, and it asks for your GMail account, and the name of your GMail account as set up under Pocket Outlook. It then listens for the email notification packet from the Google servers, and pokes poutlook when it gets a notification, telling it to send/receive - thus, push email integrated with the existing email software. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ppusherservice should point you in the right direction.

The main problem with it is that it exits after a couple minutes without an Internet connection - thus, if you make or receive a call, you have to start the app again afterwards (and you'll get a nasty dialog during the call, too). If there's no connection, it SHOULD just stay quiet and try again every minute or so; I'll probably end up fixing it, but it's Visual Basic (shudder) and I didn't feel like diving into it when I got it.
