Replacing Outlook Calendar with Google

[DalesWife]

Sorry to seem ignorant here but I just discovered Google Apps for my business (thanks to schettj), so now rather than PAYING GoDaddy for email and a website, I am using GMail, Sites, Docs and Calendar through Google. Lovesit!

I am now syncing the calendar and contacts over the air with Google Sync. I've seen no problems at all, nothing was duplicated or deleted and the process was pretty seemless. I particularly like that my business parter and I can share calendars!

My primary question is concerning the Calendar still being in Outlook on my Touch Pro. Is there any way to replace the Outook Calendar altogether and use only the Google Calendar? I see that even though everything is full integrated, I still am accessing the Outlook Calendar which appears on the HOME screen on the TP. Any way to change it so that when I touch Calendar I access Google Calendar? I know that on my laptop I have offline access to google, maybe I can put that on my laptop so that I don't have to go online each time I look at my calendar? (Internet seems very slow on my TP for some reason.)

I hope I've explained this well enough, that it makes sense and that someone can help! Thanks in advance!
