I've just rebuilt my laptop and was worknig through the usual suspects to reinstall. One thing that I wasn't even sure I'd use anymore is outlook. I totally use GMail at work and at home now. I have all my contacts, tasks, and notes in my Windows Mobile device. I was simply using it as a backup copy.
I found the
CompanionLink for Google Calendar that syncs my windows mobile with Google Calendar which is awesome. So I can now backup my calendar. But what would be really sweet is a sync for the Google Contacts and also for Google to release Google Tasks and Google Notes to compliment a full PIM online environment.
I like Google because it is clear and simple to use and quick because of it! I use
Google Reader every day and have started using
Google Home and the "Interesting Items For You" portlet which basically takes into account all the searches you do, what pages you visit etc. to recommend you links based on what others with similar profiles are doing.
