That said, their Contact Sync tools are pretty limited. You can see what Google currently offers here: http://www.google.com/sync/index.html Please note that there is terrific syncing available for Google Apps premier edition (the paid version of Google Apps) through their Outlook Plugin. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/outlook_sync.html For those of us that dont' want to spend $50 per user per year, there are some alternative contact syncing choices. At Computer Courage, we've actually set up an account with Zoho CRM (free) so that we can use their Outlook contact sync plugin. http://www.zoho.com/crm/outlook-edition.html. It works fairly well, it costs a few bucks per month but it gets the job done for us. Finally, there are a host of other 3rd party sync tools out there, including plenty that work with Google. Check out GooSync, The Missing Sync, and OggSync. If you or anyone else has any more thoughts on the subject, feel free to post them here!
