Google Sync for iPhone contacts / calendar syncing

Posted by james on February 9th, 2009 at 07:55pm Comments

Google has released a new iPhone service called Google Sync, which offers a two-way calendar and contacts sync for iPhones.

Google Sync allows you to get your Gmail contacts and Google Calendar events onto your phone. This app uses push technology, which means that any changes you make to your calendar or contacts from the browser or phone will be reflected on your device within minutes. Synchronization happens automatically over the air, without having to manually sync your phone. The connection is always on, which means your information is always up-to-date, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

You can get Google Sync here, but do keep in mind that it will replace all existing contacts and calendar information on your iPhone, so make sure to back up any important data before you get started.

And also please note that this app is still in beta — see here for a list of known issues.
