While listening to this week’s TWIT (This Week in Tech) Chris Pirillo mentioned that he used Plaxo to sync his Outlook hosted exchange with iCal, Address book and Gmail.  I had been looking for an all in one application like this for quite some time but I had only found pay services that didn’t have as much capability.

After about an hour of testing and setup,I have determined that Plaxo is perfect! It provides a ton of features for synchronization and it has a free version that takes care of all my needs!  I installed it on my MacBook Pro and on my tablet and everything is now syncing perfectly!  Before plaxo, I had to always go to Outlook to look up a contact or an event which took forever!!!  Now all I have to do is either go to GMail, iCal or Address Book to look up up information.  It is a much needed product that I am so happy to have found!  Check it out at http://www.plaxo.com

Thank you Chris for mentioning this killer application!

Things that are now in sync:

Outlook Contacts & Calendar

Motorola Q Smartphone connected via hosted exchange

GMail Contacts

GMail Calendar

iCal

Address Book

And I’m sure the list will grow in the future

    Is there a free Plaxo sync with the Motorola Q?
    I had a Plaxo sync program on the Q that used to work, but no longer. Wah that free product discontinued?
